Joe Cole names 'key moment' that gave Chelsea an edge in Champions League win vs Lille

Joe Cole believes Lille hitting the post in the second-half of Chelsea's 2-1 victory was a "key moment" and changed the game in the Blues' favour.

Chelsea, who have seen utter chaos behind the scenes for the past week, managed to keep their focus on the pitch on Wednesday evening despite going a goal down in France. Burak Yilmaz scored from the penalty spot to halve the deficit to 2-1 on aggregate in the first-half.

However, Christian Pulisic, who looked in fine form on the night, produced an accomplished finish on the stroke of half-time, latching onto a superb through ball from Jorginho. That was a huge moment for Chelsea, who went into the break level on the night and then won the match 2-1 through a rare Cesar Azpilicueta goal in the second period.
