Chelsea booked their place in the Champions League quarter-finals with an away victory at Lille to romp home 4-1 on aggregate.
Thomas Tuchel’s side were overwhelming favourites to progress having won last month’s first leg at Stamford Bridge 2-0, but were given a scare by the French champions. Burak Yilmaz’s first half penalty after Jorginho’s handball was just reward for the home side’s early promise but the European champions fought back.
Christian Pulisic equalised brilliantly on the stroke of half-time after being picked out by a sumptuous Jorginho pass, before Cesar Azpilicueta gave the Blues the lead on the night as he prodded home from Mason Mount’s cross.
