Oscar's shot from outside the box curls straight towards Mannone.

Chelsea come down the right but are quickly repelled. They try again, but they are clearly missing the confidnece of Eden Hazard.

24'

Chelsea come forward and pass patiently. Sunderland remain defending deep.

23'

Sunderland look confident now. Chelsea will be sick with that. They have thrown away an absurd amount of points. Salah uses some lovely trickery to beat a full back and his low cross is cleared at the near post.

21'

Johnson receives the ball on the right wing. He comes onto his left, just outside the box, and curls the ball wide of goal.

19'

Oscar sends a shot from distance miles wide.

18'

GOAL! Chelsea 1-1 Sunderland. Wickham scores. Alonsowins a corner off Ivanovic on the left wing. O'Shea is in the box, as well as Brown. It's out to Alonso on the edge of the box, who volleys a shot that bounces just before Schwarzer. He can't keep hold of it, and Wickham pounces on the rebound, lifting it over the keeper.

17'

16'

Ramires is bundled over by Calback as he looks to launch a counter-attack.

15'

Matic loses possession in midfield, just out of his box. Johnson whips in a cross from the left, but Cahill heads clear.

14'

Sunderland take a long throw from the left, but it's headed away easily.

12'

GOAL! Chelsea 1-0 Sunderland. Eto'o scores. Willian curls in a corner into the six yard box. Mannone or any other defender should get to the ball, but Eto'o hooks a volley into the next with poor marking from Cattermole.

11'

Willian cuts inside onto his right, but his low shot is well stopped by Mannone.

10'

Salah finds Ivanovic, but his low cross is just out of reach of Eto'o. Cattermole then blocks a long range effort from Matic.

Salah and Oscar swap passes, Ivanvovic drills the ball to Willian, it's back out to Oscar, but his cross to the back post finds nobody at all.

A short pass from Wickham, who brings the ball down from Mannone well, finds Borini lurking outside the box. His shot is well struck, but it drifts well wide.

Chelsea are playing against a Sunderland side who are sitting very deep indeed. Borini heads out a crossfield pass.

Azpilicueta's cross is cut out at the edge of the box, and Willian takes a corner from the right, curling the ball in. Mannone punches the cross clear.

Chelsea are keeping the ball in defence now, edging forward into midfield and Sunderland's half.
