Chelsea overturned their deficit from the first leg against Borussia Dortmund with a 2-0 victory on a special UEFA Champions League (UCL) night at Stamford Bridge, winning 2-1 on aggregate to secure their place in the quarter-final.
Chelsea looked lively in the opening exchanges, although Kalidou Koulibaly and Kai Havertz both missed the target before Die Schwarzgelben’s influence on the pitch grew, with Marco Reus’ free-kick forcing a superb save from Kepa Arrizabalaga.
The forward was denied by the post, then had his celebrations halted due to Raheem Sterling roaming offside in the build-up to the German smashing a beauty of a strike in off the underside of the crossbar.
