There goes the final whistle! Eight minutes added to a frantic second period. But Chelsea come through with a 2-1 win. A huge three points for Chelsea. Three goals and two reds. Chelsea almost over the line for the Champions League place.

Chelsea playing these final moments with nine men. They have all used their subs and Hazard is out of there.
90+4'
Luiz leans back and lifts the free-kick miles over the bar from distance. Three minutes left of this injury time.
90+3'
Hazard has a hamstring strain. This could be the end of him before the Europa League final against Benfica on Wednesday.
90+2'
Lichaj back to make the tackle on Hazard, who is now in need of some treatment. This would be a real blow to Chelsea if the little Belgian is injured.

79'
Luiz gets plenty of movement on that free-kick, but Guzan stands tall in his box to make a solid punch clear.
