Chelsea's run of wretched results continued as they were unable to translate chances into goals against Borussia Dortmund. Karim Adeyemi's solo effort in the second half was the defining moment of an entertaining affair though and hands the German side a 1-0 advantage heading into the return leg.
Despite playing sucker punch football in the opening 45 Chelsea still created the better chances but were once again profligate in front of goal, Joao Felix missing two glaring opportunities. In and end-to-end contest the yellow wall was there to roar on Dortmund throughout.
The 77,000 home fans were send into pandemonium when Adeyemi sprinted the length of the pitch, past Enzo Fernandez and past Kepa Arrizabalaga to slot home the winning goal. Edin Terzic has his goalkeeper Gregor Kobel to thank for several brilliant stops late on too with Emre Can also clearing up a Kalidou Koulibaly effort on goal too.
