UEFA Champions League: Chelsea 2-0 Lille

Chelsea have taken one step closer to the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League.

Chelsea have taken one step closer to the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League after defeating French club Lille 2-nil at the Stamford Bridge. 

The defending champions only needed eight minutes to take the upper hand when German midfielder Kai Havertz netted the ball with a bullet header from a corner kick.

The London blues remained consistent after the break and put the match beyond doubt when Christian Pulisic put the bill into the back of the net with a precise shot in the 63rd minute.

The second leg will be held on the 16th of March.
