90+5'
FULL TIME! Boos ring out. They should be for Cahill if they are for anyone, but the crowd is probably targeting the ref after two red cards. There can be no argument with either of them (though there will be), and Chelsea have had an awfu but full-blooded start to the defence of their title. Burnley have shown yet again they can handle themselves against the biggest sides in the league.
90+4'
Burnley are sitting back. They clear one ball for a throw-in on the right. It's headed out. There are seconds left.
90+2'
Musonda on for Chelsea.

Alonso hurls himself to the ground, claiming he's been pushed over by Brady. It's a bit rich. Corner for Chelsea, and it's out for another one on the right, opposite side of the pitch.
86'
Apparently no side except United have won the Premier League after losing their first match.
85'
Morata reacts quickly to some ping pong outside the box, and he sends a shot at goal that makes Heaton dive to his left to stop.
84'
Jose Mourinho might be enjoying a second frosty one.
81'
RED CARD! Well, I believe the kids say 'LOL'. Fabregas is off, for a second yellow card. The Chelsea man is refusing to leave the pitch. It was a late tackle on Cork with his studs up.
