Holders Chelsea ease into quarter-finals with win at Lille thanks to goals from Christian Pulisic and Cesar Azpilicueta
Chelsea have secured their place in the Champions League quarter-finals with a 2-1 victory against Lille at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy, giving them a 4-1 win on aggregate. While the build-up to this match was overshadowed by a maelstrom of speculation about potential takeover bids, Chelsea showed little sign of distraction in the early stages. Lille had a couple of dangerous efforts through Burak Yilmaz, one after Jonathan David had won a clever free kick from Andreas Christensen to set him up for a dipping free kick, but otherwise the visitors set the tempo.
