FULL-TIME

90'— Injury time: 3 added minutes

88'— It's a lovely one-two from Ivanovic and Oscar, with the former's cross falling agonisingly behind Torres. So close for Chelsea. But a very nice volley pass from Oscar, who's been lively. 

Chelsea fans seem impressed by Moses, perhaps they'll be cheering him on next week in a Chelsea shirt?

Moses has been impressive, productive. We'll take him.

84'— Wigan are really unlucky here, Moses causes havoc down the right and drives it in, with Kone getting a little flick that is parried by Cech. The rebound drops to Gomez, about head height, with the Spaniard choosing to bicycle kick it. It's a glorious chance despite the difficulty of the technique, as it sails over the bar.

83'— This is sloppy from Chelsea. Cech is the main culprit, he keeps trying to play extravagant passes out of defence and Wigan are sniffing a chance or two. Soon after, a Wigan corner is swung in and Kone misses a golden opportunity. With Cech helpless, the header just needs the slightest of touches, but the Ivorian gets too much on it.

82'— Substitution for Chelsea

That makes a lot of sense. Juan Mata, who looks absolutely drained, is replaced by Raul Meireles. 

79'— Substitution for Wigan

Ben Watson replaces McArthur for Wigan. Not exactly the most inspiring of changes, although the former Crystal Palace player is useful from set pieces.

78'— Chelsea are keeping the ball much better now, without Hazard's dribbling ability, the Blues are tending to wait for Wigan to leave an opening. None have arrived yet.

74'— Gomez has a decent opportunity from a freekick. The Spaniard hits it well, but Cech easily dives to his left and smothers it.

71'— Oscar is really lively here, showing flashes of brilliance as he links up with Ivanovic down the right. Exciting stuff from the Seleção star.

69'— Gomez spurns a great chance. He's offside anyway, but Figueroa's ball is perfect and the Spaniard heads harmlessly over from the penalty spot with so much time and space.

62'— Stunning counter attack from Chelsea, clearence to Torres, who heads it in behind the Wigan defence, where Oscar sprints clear of Ramis, but his shot drifts a yard wide. A glimpse of the future there for Chelsea.

66'— Substitution for Wigan

It's the new boy, Kone, who was so impressive for Levante last season in La Liga, replaces Di Santo.

62'— Substitution for Chelsea

Eden Hazard's work is done, super on his debut. The Belgian makes way for Oscar, who makes his debut, despite only being with Chelsea for a week, after his work with Brazil at the Olympics.

62'— The game has fizzled out a bit here, but suddenly Torres is through, one on one, but with a lot of pressure, he touches it past Al-Habsi, but Ramis clears an inch off the line, agonisingly close for the Spaniard.

57'— Moses is clearly Wigan's biggest threat, he commits Ivanovic a couple of times and stands up some decent crosses, but Di Santo is swamped by Terry and David Luiz. How well would he do in a top side like Chelsea?

52'— Torres finds himself in behind, but drifting wide, and he holds the ball up to cross for an unmarked Cole, who has galloped forward from defence. The England left back can only balloon his volleyed effort high and wide though.

51'— Gomez looks like he'll replace Maloney directly, from the opening minutes of this second half, less directness, but seemingly more guile and creativity from the Spaniard.

50'— Wigan have huffed and puffed in the early stages of this second half, but nothing substantial has been created.

Chelsea fans with a rather funny chant towards Wigan's star man, Victor Moses:

"We'll see you next week, we'll see you next week, Victor Moses, we'll see you next week!"
