Dinamo build from the back in a patient, technical fashion unlike the hectic rough and tumble we saw in Saturday’s derby at the Bridge.

The Blues took control of the game from that point, and Wesley Fofana almost made it 2-0 with 20 minutes to go. Chelsea were quick off the mark, and Havertz came close to making it 1-0 as he broke through on goal within the first two minutes, but he failed to score. The forward's original volley struck the post, but fortunately, the ball fell back to the England international who reacted quickly and prodded home.
