    A brilliant tackle from Zouma. He had to time it because it was in the penalty box and he timed it to perfection.

    Re Moe 9:25 - despite your optimism around Abraham are you not forgetting a certain Mr Kane for England no1 striker!

    Kurt Zouma has his critics but he's got some real weapons in his arsenal, not least speed and strength, which he uses to deny Lille a breakaway opportunity. Luiz Araujo was never winning that battle.

    I've been a Chelsea fan since the Kakuta years and I can comfortably see that I have never seen a striker as composed as Tammy! He makes Drogba look like Bebe!!

    Wonder how far Chelsea can go in the Champions League? I think when we have the transfer window in January, that's a massive chance for us to strengthen. Defence needs to be more tight, we have Rudiger but I feel we need another one for experience.

    Leo Jardim makes his first save, dropping to his left to comfortably grasp Mateo Kovacic's curling shot.

  6. Vital goal for Dortmundpublished at 21:30 Greenwich Mean Time 10 December 2019

    Benfica 2-0 Zenit St Petersburg / Borussia Dortmund 2-1 Slavia Prague

    Benfica have scored again against Zenit St Petersburg to lead 2-0 in Lisbon. The Russians are down to 10 men following a second yellow card for Douglas Santos after he handled the ball in the 18-yard box, with Afonso Fernandes converting the resulting penalty.

    As it stands in Group G, Zenit will be second, Benfica third and Lyon fourth. One goal for Lyon, who are currently 2-1 down at home to RB Leipzig, would change everything. Lyon would then go second, Benfica would stay third and Zenit would drop from second to fourth.

    In Group F, Borussia Dortmund are now 2-1 ahead against Slavia Prague and Julian Brandt's goal leaves the Germans second as it stands.

    They will drop to third if Inter get a winner against Barcelona, it's 1-1 in that one. Inter's Romelu Lukaku has just had an effort well saved by Barca goalkeeper Neto, while the Spaniards, already through, have just brought on Luis Suarez.

    Lille are the equivalent of a chocolate teapot in the champions league this season. Might as well have put a 5th English spot up for grabs at this rate.

    This could not be more comfortable for Chelsea - although the luxury of a third goal would always be welcome.

    Lille are very much second best and it is now a question of Chelsea seeing this out without incident.

    Two changes. Maignan is replaced by Leo Jardim for Lille.

    Tammy Abraham takes a rest for Chelsea, with Michy Batshuayi coming on.

    Maignan is down now. Looks like his night is done. It looks to have come from a collision with Kurt Zouma.

    The Lille keeper is struggling. he is trying to signal to the bench but nobody seems to understand what he is on about.

    José once said a team full of Azpilicuetas wins the league.... Give me a team of Kante's and Chelsea walk the Champions League. Immense.

    Nigel, Battersea

    Surely Tammy should be England number one striker?

    All English final (RE: 9:14)? Little premature there Milo! Both good sides, but let's not get blown away just by how Chelsea have done in the group stage.

    It's the right time to give a player like Hudson-Odoi a chance as he hasn't had many minutes this season.

    So it is probably the right substitution, but Hudson-Odoi will have to make do with starting matches on the bench because the way Pulisic is playing at the moment, he is in fine form.

    Will this be the game-changer? Jonathan Bamba is on for Thiago Maia.

    As it stands, Ajax are going out. They are losing at Valencia, meaning the Spanish side and Chelsea will be going through.

    Still nothing to suggest a Lille fightback is on the cards.

  16. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 61 mins

    Chelsea 2-0 Lille

    Christian Pulisic (who has been quality) departs for Callum Hudson-Odoi. No respite for the Lille full-backs.

    Ayodele Aim: Keeping a clean sheet today will calm the nerves of the Chelsea players. Having watched them against Everton, they are brilliant at times but let down by the defence. That was why Everton seem good on the day.

    ChelseaFCOtaku: Still at work. I hope for good news when I leave in an hour. COME ON CHELSEA!

    Lille make nothing of their corner. At least their fans will always have the winning of it.

    Looks like we're going to get a Callum Hudson-Odoi cameo.

    Lille win a corner and their fans celebrate like they've scored.

  20. Group G goalspublished at 21:15 Greenwich Mean Time 10 December 2019

    Benfica 1-0 Zenit St Petersburg / Lyon 1-2 RB Leipzig

    Benfica have taken the lead through Franco Cervi against Zenit St Petersburg, but it will still be the Russians going through in second spot, despite Zenit, Benfica and Lyon all on seven points.

    But that Benfica goal will take them into the Europa League as it stands. Lyon were 2-0 down at home to RB Leipzig, but have one back through Houssem Aouar.

    One more goal for the French side, and no further ones in the Benfica-Zenit match would catapult Lyon up from fourth to second.
