FA Cup: MK Dons 1-5 Chelsea

FT: MK Dons 1-5 Chelsea - Chelsea are through to the fifth round of the FA Cup after a five goal rout of their hosts. The Blues were utterly dominant throughout the game with Oscar scoring a first half hat-trick, while Potter scored the only goal of the game for the Dons. Eden Hazard tucked in a penalty to finally end his goal drought, while Bertrand Traore completed the scoring for the visitors. The draw for the fifth round of the FA Cup takes place later tonight.

90+1' The referee blows the final whistle

90' The referee adds a minute of injury time, perhaps with a view to end MK Dons' misery

87' Willian is down with an injury after a kick to his shin

86' Despite the scoreline, MK Dons have been decent going forward, and have been let down by their defence tonight

84' Powell is straight into the action, as the Englishman's mazy run ends with a shot that requires Courtois to make a good save

82' - Carruthers goes off to be replaced by Daniel Powell

81' Willian's free kick is straight down Martin's throat, allowing the keeper to catch the ball comfortably

80' Spence goes into the book for bringing down Baba Rahman on the edge of the box

78' Chelsea nearly make it six. Baba Rahman is played through into space of the left edge of the box, but Traore screws the Ghanain's cut-back wide

Guus Hiddink in two spells at Chelsea

75' Walsh is yellow carded for a foul on Loftus-Cheek

74' Fabregas nearly catches out Martin from a narrow angle, after the Spaniard was cleverly put through by a reverse pass from Pedro

72' MK Dons lost to Southampton 6-0 in the League Cup earlier in the season, and have reverted to 10 men behind the ball to avoid a similar scoreline. Too little too late.

70' The game has descended into little more than a training exercise with both sides aware that the game is probably over as a contest

67' It's only been 67 minutes, yet the 'Oles' are out early, as Chelsea's away fans turn up the noise with their side's four goal lead

5 - MK Dons have conceded five goals in an FA Cup game for the first time. Humbled.

64' Pedro comes on for Hazard

64' Willian comes on for Oscar

62' Chelsea have a fifth! Bertrand Traore completes the rout, calmly stroking the ball into the net with his left foot after Hazard set him up with a left wing cross

61' Hall's long range effort requires a finger tip save from Courtois, earing the Dons a corner, which is worked to Murphy, who takes a tumble but Moss waves away the penalty appeals

Now that Hazard has scored we can expect to see these guys any minute now. #MKDvCHE pic.twitter.com/5CfDsClAXn

Eden Hazard: Hazard's goal vs MK Dons is his first for Chelsea since May 3rd 2015 (vs Crystal Palace)

57' Bertrand Traore comes on for Diego Costa

55' Hazard scores his 1st goal of the season! The Belgian calmly slots the ball to the keeper's left with Martin diving the wrong way

54' Referee John Moss takes his time to award a penalty, but the call was rather harsh. Hazard is leaned on by his marker but takes a tumble with only minimal contact

52' Hazard nearly works his way through after a quick one-two at the edge of the box, but his touch lets him down

50' Chelsea are finding space much harder to come by, as the Dons are far tighter in defence, but a regulation long ball nearly catches Dons keeper Martin out with Costa charging at him.

48' MK Dons have improved slightly after the break, as they earn a corner early into the second half

46' Chelsea kickoff the second half

8 - There have now been eight hat-tricks in the @EmiratesFACup this season, compared to seven in 2014/15. Flurry.

The second half is about to kick off, with Chelsea making their way from the tunnel, but MK Dons take their time. Presumably their manager had a few harsh words to say

3 - Oscar is the first player to net a first-half FA Cup hat-trick since Reuben Reid (Plymouth v Lincoln City in Nov 2013). Trio.

Applause from the home fans as the players head off. Dons have played some good stuff but @ChelseaFC have been clinical. 1-3 #MKDvCHE

Oscar scores his first hat-trick for Chelsea since moving to the club in 2012. Well deserved. pic.twitter.com/8R521BOGdo

HT: MK Dons 1-3 Chelsea - A first half hat-trick from Oscar gives the Blues a comfortable lead going into the break. Chelsea ripped apart the Dons defence countless times, and could have easily scored 5 or 6 as Hazard and Costa spurned easy chances. Darren Potter equalised for MK Dons midway through the first half with a deflected strike, but the hosts were unable to take advantage of their good fortune, allowing Chelsea to come back and assert their superiority going into break.

45+2' The first half ends as the referee blows his whistle

3 - Oscar is the first Chelsea player to score a hat-trick in a game since Diego Costa in September 2014 (v Swansea). Leading.

45' 2 minutes of injury time

44' Oscar completes a first half hat-trick, evading a couple of half-hearted challenges as he runs along the edge of the box, and curls the ball into the top corner with a sweet right footed shot

43' Chelsea play their way through the MK Dons defence again, as Loftus-Cheek and Hazard combine on the wing to set up Oscar, but the Brazilian's shot drifts wide

41' Forster-Caskey takes a shot from range, but his wild effort flies over the bar

40' Chelsea are comfortably in the ascendancy, as MK Dons are unable to exert any pressure on the Blues

2 - Oscar has scored twice in the same game for Chelsea for the first time since January 2015. Best.

35' The Dons have thrown away their good fortune in equalising, with Chelsea all over them

Thoroughly enjoying this football match #endtoend #MKDvCHE #FAcup

32' Chelsea finally retake the lead! Loftus-Cheek plays in Oscar behind the defence, and the Brazilian strikes home a powerful effort from a narrow angle past Martin

31' MK Dons have another free kick from the left

MK Dons are so open that Chelsea are missing simple chances and then having a bloody good laugh about it as they know they'll get more
