Match Commentary
93' It's a club-record 10th consecutive Premiership victory for Chelsea. Sunderland remain 10 points adrift at the bottom of the Premiership. In truth, they're screwed. |
93' FULL-TIME: Chelsea just about do enough to take the points after holding on following Robben's sending off. It's a hard-fought win, and one which extends their lead to 16 points at the top of the Premiership. |
93' Lawrence wins his side a corner when his attempted cross from the left-wing is blocked by Gallas. The same defender heads clear the set-piece at the near post. |
