Middlesbrough - Chelsea live updates

Yes it was, Michael!

Chelsea just starting to get a foothold in this match. Looking far more confident than in the opening 20 minutes.

A good spell from Chelsea, moving the ball quickly. Pedro’s cross is cut out by Valdes.

SAVE! It’s a fine save from Valdes from Pedro to prevent Chelsea from going ahead. Fingertips to deflect that one over from the Moses pull back.

A weak header from Luiz almost gifts Boro a chance but it had actually come of De Roon’s hand.

Chelsea enjoying a bit more of the ball. Ramirez breaks but feels he has been impeded by Azpilicueta. Nothing given.

Again Boro break and Ramirez shows terrific pace. Chelsea on the back foot again before Matic clears.

Fabio all at sea and Hazard finds Moses in a good position in the box but his wild shot is well wide.

Great move from Boro and Ramirez gets in behind Alonso but an awful touch lets him down and it’s out for a goal kick.

Fabio forced to concede a corner. In it comes from hazard but well cleared.

Boro have looked the more dangerous early on here. Chelsea yet to find their rhythm.

Diego Costa has been involved in more Premier League goals than any other player this season (nine goals and three assists), while he has scored in four of Chelsea's five away league matches this campaign.

Hazard has two men in the middle to cut it back to but it’s a poor cross and Chambers clears.

A lovely mazy run from Traore, eventually knocked out of his stride by Matic. He wins a free kick.
