90+6'
Full time: Chelsea 1-1 Huddersfield That's it! Huddersfield have stayed up and Swansea are relegated barring a mathematical miracle on Sunday! They put in an astonishing effort to hold on during a frenetic finish at Stamford Bridge. The result also means Chelsea's Champions League hopes are all but gone. But really, this is about Huddersfield, and a night they will never forget.
90+4'
This is some of the most heroically desperate defending seen in a Premier League match for yonks. Two more minutes.
90+3'
Hogg is down with cramp. The Chelsea fans, every single one of them a qualified medical practitioner, express their doubts as to the veracity of his self-diagnosis.
90+2'
Huddersfield bus update: the hubcaps have gone.
90+1'
There will be six minutes of added time. The Huddersfield fans are suffering a million torments.
90'
Hazard and Fabregas combine beautifully on the left. The ball then ricochets around the area until Giroud hooks an acrobatic volley wide of the far post!
89'
CHANCE FOR CHELSEA! Morata's shot is too close to Lossl, who stands tall and beats it away.

87'
Hazard drills a low shot well wide from 25 yards. Huddersfield are so close to the point they need. It's been a monumental effort.
85'
Huddersfield make their final change, with Scott Malone replacing Tommy Smith. An impatient Willian charges over and tries to bundle Smith off the pitch. Huddersfield's timewasting has really got on Chelsea's wick tonight.

WHAT A SAVE BY LOSSL! A Chelsea corner leads to an astonishing scramble in the Huddersfield box. Eventually Christensen guides a header towards goal, and Lossl, who was moving to his left, dives back to his right and twists to fingertip the ball on the post. That's a stunning save!
82'
Huddersfield look absolutely spent. They have given so much - not just today, but on Sunday at Manchester City as well.
81'
Willian, found on the right of the box by Fabregas, flashes a vicious ball right across the face of goal. It was a fraction away from the head of Giroud at the near post.
79'
Willan's cross is knocked down by Giroud to Alonso, whose snapshot hits a defender. Huddersfield have made so many vital blocks tonight.
77'
A rare Huddersfield break. Billing lopes forwards and drives wide from 25 yards. It was fairly close but Caballero had it covered.
76'
Willian's neat pass finds Morata, whose shot on the turn is desperately blocked. Huddersfield are defending heroically.
74'
Hazard, who has been lively since coming on, shuffles away from two defenders on the edge of the area before his shot is blocked. Huddersfield are now basically playing a 5-5-0 formation.
72'
Instead Chelsea try a training-ground free-kick, and make a Horlicks of it.
72'
Hazard is fouled 25 yards out by Depoitre. Alonso might fancy this...
70'
Billing is down receiving treatment. The Chelsea fans, who think he's wasting time, are less than sympathetic.
