Full Time. It's over. Chelsea end Everton's unbeaten home record with a 2-1 win over Goodison Park.
90+3
Chance! Jelavic miskicks on the half-volley from Baines' cross.
90+1
Torres has the chance to finish it but he dallies over the shot and Distin does brilliantly to block his effort.
90
There will be four minutes added time.
89
Oscar cuts in from a wide position and blasts a shot over the bar. Everton in a hurry now.
88
Distin with a defensive error and then Torres does well to win a corner.
Cole is booked.
Oscar replaces Mata for Chelsea.
84
Everton pushing hard for an equaliser as they pepper the Chelsea box.
82
Heitinga does well to block a shot from Moses.
Oviedo replaces Pienaar.
Barkley on for Hitzlsperger.
Vellios on for Naismith.
Moses on for Hazard.
Mata crossed for Hazard at the far post
and his knockdown eventually found the Spaniard who drilled in a shot
that Howard saved. But only as far as Lampard who shovelled the ball
into the net from close range.
Goal! Frank Lampard with his second of the game!
Luiz goes in the book.
69
Chance! Jelavic sees a header come crashing back off the bar.
69
Anichebe with the lay-off and Osman sees a low effort saved by Turnbull.
68
Howard does brilliantly to claim the next corner under pressure from Cahill.
67And it's cleared at the second attempt.
67Torres with a snap-shot that Howard does well to keep out. Chelsea corner.
Pienaar booked for an ugly challenge on Luiz.
64Heitinga
lofts a ball forward and Everton's forwards are in behind the defence
but the ball doesn't fall nicely for Naismith and Turnbull claims.
62The ball is hooked into the box and Turnbull backtracks but just keeps the ball out despite his body being behind the line.
61Luiz concedes a corner.
60Pienaar with the backheel to get Baines away and he is fouled by Ramires just outside the area.
59Osman wins a corner off Lampard.
58Hitzlsperger
with a threaded pass through to Jelavic but the forward is ruled
offside. At the other end, Luiz spoons an effort over the bar.
56But
that's better from Torres. His back-flick finds Mata in space and then
Hazard's flick finds Torres again but his shot - from an offside
position - is well saved by Howard.
54Osman
gives the ball away on the edge of his own area and then Luiz plays a
delicious looking chip over the back line but Torres' control lets him
down and the chance is gone.
53Everton
have the chance to cross from a dangerous position but Pienaar chooses
the wrong option. Then Luiz has the opportunity to break but his pass
drifts out of play. Even game now.
51Jagielka puts the ball behind for a corner but it is cleared.
49Baines'
injury is an unpleasant one. His shirt is ripped and he has a bloodied
back so is off the field receiving treatment with Hitzlsperger charged
with taking the free-kick that comes to nothing.
Cahill booked for a block on Baines.
46Driving run from Anichebe and he goes down in the box to howls from the home crowd but nothing is given. Looked a tumble.
46Chelsea kick-off and we are underway in the second half.
Turnbull on for Cech.
Half Time.
Referee Howard Webb blows the whistle to bring a pulsating first half
to a close. Everton hit Chelsea hard early on but the visitors showed
good character to claw their way back into the contest.
45There will be one minute of added time.
45Baines nearly finds the head of Anichebe at the near post but the forward cannot find a connection.
44Luiz concedes a free-kick for a foul on Pienaar.
Ramires crosses from the right and Lampard finds space to head neatly into the bottom corner of the net.
Goal! Chelsea equalise through Frank Lampard!
41Lampard fires in a free-kick and the ball falls for Torres inside the area but his left-footed shot is deflected wide.
39Anichebe crosses from deep but Naismith cannot turn the ball goalwards.
38Lampard sees an ambitious effort from distance deflect safely into the arms of Howard.
36Everton
break through Pienaar who does brilliantly to deceive Luiz and then
sets Jelavic away. Cech produces a finger-tip save to deny the forward.
34Cole nearly gets on the end of a ball that fizzes across the Everton area. Signs of encouragement for Chelsea.
33That's a quality ball from Ivanovic but Torres is outmuscled.
32A rare touch for Torres but his pass to Hazard is a poor one.
31But it comes to nothing this time.
31But now the other side of Anichebe as he shows great strength to win a corner.
30Jelavic lays the ball off to Anichebe but the forward gets his left-footed cross all wrong and it sails over the bar.
29First
period of concerted pressure from the visitors. Questions whether
Everton can keep up this level of harrying until the interval.
27Chance
for Chelsea! Ramires with a powerful run and the ball dropped nicely
for Mata inside the box but Howard was able to save with his legs.
25Chelsea
try to pass their way out from the back but concede a throw-in high up
the field. Everton use it well to engineer space down the right and when
the ball comes out to Osman he hits a fine shot that Cech does well to
get down low to save.
23The
boot is on the other foot briefly as Osman and Anichebe are both
dispossessed in quick succession but it comes to nothing. Chelsea just
don't have time to play at the moment - it's all so rushed.
21First effort from Chelsea but it's a wild one as Ramires takes a swing with his left foot and skews the ball well wide.
20Prolonged
build-up play by Everton on the left and when Pienaar swings in a
cross, Cech and Jelavic both go up for the ball and miss it with a
goal-kick the result.
19Mata
attempts a threaded pass to Torres but Distin is up to the challenge
and gets ahead of the Chelsea man, forcing him to concede a foul.
17Luiz tries to find Torres over the top but the forward gets crowded out. Torres has barely had a kick so far.
16Better attacking play from Chelsea as Mata and Hazard get on the ball but the move breaks down when Ramires miscontrols.
14More good football from Everton but Cech is off his line to claim Baines' low cross.
13Hitzlsperger with the delivery but the referee has spotted a foul by Jelavic.
12Wonderful play from Osman but Pienaar sees his cross cut out. Everton have a corner... and then another in quick succession.
10Chelsea have their first attack of the game but the home side are defending well and the move breaks down.
8It's Jelavic who takes it not Baines and the Croatian hits the post!
7Foul by Cahill and a free-kick to Everton in a dangerous position.
7Now it's Cech with a horrible goal-kick. Chelsea just haven't got started here.
5But passes are going astray. Everton pressing well.
4Chelsea starting to enjoy their first real possession of the game.
4Everton continuing to press as Baines puts in another cross that Anichebe flicks on but Jelavic cannot reach.
Pienaar
started and finished the move. He put Jagielka away down the right and
the skipper's cross found the head of Anichebe at the far post. His
header came back off the post but there was that man Pienaar to fire
home the rebound.
Goal! Steven Pienaar with the early breakthrough!
1Everton kick-off and we are underway.
One minute of applause at Goodison Park in honour of those Evertonians who passed away in 2012.
The players are out on the pitch, not long to go now until kick-off.
