Chelsea deservedly secured a spot in the Champions League quarter-finals after they beat Borussia Dortmund 2-0 at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday (2-1 on aggregate). The German outfit won the first leg but found themselves bested by a dominant yet wasteful at times Chelsea as the pressure on Graham Potter's job lessened with the Blues securing back-to-back wins for the first time since October.
As chances went begging for Chelsea, with Havertz striking the post early on and Kalidou Koulibaly missing an open goal from just a few yards out, it looked as though it would just be one of those nights. That was until Raheem Sterling's mishit shot gave him a second bite at the cherry, one which he smashed into the roof of the net just before half time.
Then came the controversy. A Ben Chilwell cross was deemed to have been handled in the penalty area by Marius Wolf after VAR intervention, but Kai Havertz saw the resulting spot kick strike the post. Luckily for the German international, a handful of Dortmund players entered the 18-yard box as Havertz was still striding up to strike the ball.
