Chelsea’s Champions League title defense continue as they move into quarter finals after a 2-1 (4-1 agg) win over LOSC Lille at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy .

The defending Champions had already have a first leg advantage at Stamford Bridge in February, with a 2-0 win.

The host looked to be very well spirited as they put pressure on Thomas Tuchel’s side,taking a lead from Burak Yilmaz penalty in the 38th minute.

The French side were denied a lead into the break as Christian Pulisic fired home a matter of seconds before half-time.

The French champions were punished by way of Chelsea skipper Cesar Azpilicueta coming in at Leonardo’s back post in minute 71 from Mason Mount’s cross to seal a win for the Blues.

Up next for the Pensioners is a trip to the Riverside for a FA Cup quarter final against Middlesbrough.
