Yep, Stu. You're certainly not wrong there.

Again, the Brazilian makes a very good challenge, coming across to the left, showing his aggressiveness by shoulder barging Jonathan Bamba out of the way and then his coolness by bringing the ball forward.

Smooth operator.

Stu T-G: Thiago Silva has to be one of the coolest and most effective defenders of this generation. A brilliant transfer by Chelsea.

Excellent build-up play from Renato Sanches with a powerful run forward, beating two Chelsea men to open up the space in front of him but then smashing his shot over.

Top defending by Matthijs de Ligt to cut out Giovani lo Celso's low cross which could have given somebody a tap-in.

Moments earlier at the other end Raul Albiol blocked Weston McKennie's shot.

Too casual from goalscorer Kai Havertz as he looks to pick out Marcos Alonso's run but strokes his attempted pass into the path of Zeki Celik, who clears.

First save of the night for Edouard Mendy but an easy one, patting down and catching Benjamin Andre's fizzing strike from outside the area.

Whenever I watch Thiago Silva he never makes a mistake. He reads the game so well and is so fast in his thinking.

Chelsea have had four attempts, Lille seven but none on target. Lille are a young team but need to be more composed as they are getting into the right areas.

Every time Lille get the ball forward to one of the frontmen, it looks like they have time and space to work an opening.

But in a flash, Chelsea seem to get back and regain their shape to snuff out the danger.

Like they did for the goal, Juventus cause problems with a long ball. Weston McKennie gets it and finds Alvaro Morata but he shoots high and wide.

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel's body language is not that of a satisfied man, even though they have the lead. His backroom team getting plenty of grief as well.

Chelsea have not looked like building on that goal though, Leo Jardim in the Lille goal has been rather comfortable since picking the ball out of the net.

I would like to see Sanches playing more central for Lille, he is on the right and you can see his technical ability.

If he went a bit more narrow he would have more joy and they could overload Chelsea in the midfield.

Good defending from Sven Botman as Hakim Ziyech looked to cut inside onto his left peg following N'Golo Kante's throughball.

A Premier League audition for the Dutchman tonight, he was heavily linked with a move to Newcastle last month.

Good play by Dusan Vlahovic in the box to hold up Alex Sandro's cross. He keeps three defenders away from the ball and then lays it back to Manuel Locatelli who blazes over.

Just caught a glimpse of Romelu Lukaku on the Chelsea bench, hood up and stern faced like a moody teenager at the back of the bus.

Not exactly overjoyed at being a passenger tonight.

Portuguese midfielder Xeka has a pop from outside the area but it is once again blocked by the rock that is Thiago Silva.

A man who loves defending.

Alvaro Morata goes down very easy in the box but the referee is having none of it.

Juve haven't had a proper shot since the goal.

Chelsea are much more comfortable in a back five. They've played this system so many times and Azpilicueta is playing like a winger, Alonso is playing like a winger and within four minutes they've had as many crosses as against Crystal Palace.

The front three are more fluid and it's a really positive start for them.

Brilliant goalkeeping from the reliable Edouard Mendy, darting off his line to clear Renato Sanches' sublime pass from inside his own half.

Jonathan Bamba almost latched on to his but had the door slammed shut on his nose.
