Highlights

90'+2

FT Chelsea 3-1 Sunderland: A much-needed win for the Blues, who start life after Jose Mourinho with a 3-1 win over Sunderland in front of newly-appointed interim coach Guus Hiddink.

90'

Into stoppage time...

88'

Willian goes close with a free-kick, but Pantilimon holds on.

86'

Defoe gets into another great position - but he's offside.

84'

Pedro tries to lift the ball over the advancing Pantilimon after Willian had played him in, but Pedro clears the bar by some distance.

82'

Chelsea sub: Ramires on, Oscar off. Oscar isn't booed.

80'

Misunderstanding between Courtois and Zouma and Defoe almost gets in!

78'

76'

Chelsea sub: Remy on, Costa off. Costa is also booed off by the Chelsea fans.

75'

Willian threads the ball through to Costa, who is unable to control it and get a shot away - but he does win a corner.

73'

Ivanovic crosses from the right but Pedro takes it off Costa's toe as the striker was about to shoot.

71'

Chelsea sub: Mikel on, Fabregas off. And Fabregas is booed off by the Chelsea fans.

69'

Chelsea are reasonably comfortable now after that 10 minute wobble, but another goal is needed to make the points completely safe.

67'

CLOSE! Oscar shifts the ball onto his right foot 25 yards out, and almost bends it in but it whistles wide.

65'

DEFOE MISS! Defoe seizes on a poor header by Zouma to get in on goal, but slices his shot wide. Defoe needed to show more composure there, that was a great opportunity.

62'

Yellow for Rodwell, who has committed one foul too many.

60'

Chelsea rocking and Sunderland sense they can get another here. Surely Chelsea won't let this slip...

58'

BORINI CHANCE! So close to another one for Borini, who is played in after some good work by Johnson, but can't bend his shot enough to make it sneak inside the far post.

57'

DEFOE GOES CLOSE! Defoe gets away from Ivanovic and flashes a shot across the Chelsea goal. Chelsea wobbling a bit here.

55'

Pedro takes on Jones with some great footwork, but bites off more than he can chew and Jones gets a foot in.
