Defending champions Chelsea took a big step towards the quarter-finals of the Champions League as goals from Kai Havertz and Christian Pulisic earned a 2-0 first-leg victory over Lille in the last-16.
With Romelu Lukaku left out of the starting lineup, Havertz opened the scoring inside ten minutes in an encouraging display up-front, before Pulisic struck on the break shortly after the hour-mark.
