Luck finally seems to be on the side of Graham Potter and Chelsea after they knocked Borussia Dortmund out of the Champions League with a 2-1 aggregate victory. Under the lights at Stamford Bridge, the Blues were faced with the task of overcoming a one-goal deficit from the first leg that by 10:05pm on Tuesday evening they had passed with flying colours.
Goals either side of half time from Raheem Sterling and Kai Havertz saw Chelsea progress into the quarter-finals overturning Karim Adeyemi's first leg strike. A few weeks ago it certainly would have been presumed that Chelsea would be the team to be greatly affected by injuries for the tie, but as it turned out Dortmund were the team to suffer more injury blows.
Firstly, Adeyemi picked up a hamstring injury in February that led to him missing the game, while No.1 goalkeeper Gregor Kobel was left out of the starting XI with a knock that also resulted in Alexander Meyer starting the weekend's Bundesliga win against RB Leipzig.
