FULL TIME: All square at Stamford Bridge. Didn't see much hope for Southampton at halfway, but they dug in and deserved to get back on terms. Pressure on Benitez will mount.
90+4'
Southampton keep smashing the ball clear as the seconds tick down, Chelsea keep lumping it back towards the middle. But as the four minutes are completed, Chelsea are offside.
90+3'
Torres stands up a cross - too high, too long, and out for a goal kick. Don't expect Southampton to rush.
90+2'
Clyne cuts out Luiz's run into the box, and again Southampton come away. CHelse anot giving up - it's Hooiveld's turn to clear a hopeful ball forward.
90+1'
Mata, wide on the right, drifts in. Schneiderlin sends Oscar backwards. The Brazilian has been ordinary tonight.

Four added minutes to play. Ramires fells Ramirez as Southampton make another break. There are spaces as Chelsea push forward looking for a winner.
89'
Southampton venture down the right and very nearly release Lambert down the flank. Cahill leads the Blues back upfield.

Fernando Torres has scored only 1 PL goal in 19 PL matches as a substitute for Chelsea (Infostrada)
87'
Luiz with a cross into the box from deep, Shaw, and then Schneiderlin, manage to clear the ball. Ramirez breaks, but without support finds himself running out of options.
86'
Luiz tries to set Chelsea off on another foray forward. It isn't happening at the moment.

TORRES! He had space, he charged to the edge of the area, got good power behind the shot, but put it just wide.

Yellow for Luiz as he blocks Ramirez on the break.
84'
Now Chelsea pile forward. They bossed the last five minutes of the first half, and they'll need a similar finish to the second to rescue a win here.
83'
Torres forces a corner kick off Shaw as the Blues venture forward. Hooiveld powerfully heads Mata's cross out of the box.
82'
The last time Southampton avoided defeat after coming back from 2 goals down in Premier League match was on 16 August 2003 at Leicester City (2-2) (Infostrada)
81'
High ball stood up for Lambert - Luiz gets it clear. But Chelsea look vulnerable - just as likely to concede as score at the moment.

Torres on, Lampard off. Benitez throwing more bodies foward. A draw would be a very poor result, especially from the position they were in.
