87 mins: The pundits are trying to talk up Cesc Fabregas' introduction as being key to Chelsea turning this game in their favour, but all he really did was hoof a ball down the touchline. I could have done that. If we're looking for the reasons as to why Chelsea will take all three points, then it's down to a rare error of judgement by McAuley and a display of considerable power and precision from Costa.
90 mins: Four minutes of added on time are signalled by the fourth official. It's a number will buoy the West Bromwich Albion fans, but they're unlikely to rescue anything here. They're still too set in the gameplan they brought to Stamford Bridge, one that they almost carried out to the letter.
90+3 mins: Diego Costa is seeing Chelsea to victory singlehandedly. The striker finds new energy from somewhere to burst down the left, toy with a defender, and then win a corner. You'd imagine that is where the ball will now stay.
