UEFA Champions League: Chelsea puts off-field woes aside to reach last eight

The Hindu  

Holder Chelsea made light of its off-pitch problems to reach the Champions League quarterfinals by beating Lille 2-1 away on Wednesday to complete a 4-1 aggregate victory. The Premier League side, playing amid sanctions imposed on its Russian owner Roman Abramovich following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, eased through thanks to goals by Christian Pulisic and Cesar Azpilicueta. Lille, which had not conceded a goal in its three Ligue 1 games since the first leg, let its guard down, however, and Chelsea punished the side with its first shot on target as Pulisic collected a fine through ball from Jorginho to score with a low shot three minutes into first-half stoppage time. Chelsea was far more ruthless and after 71 minutes Mason Mount's cross bounced off Azpilicueta's knee into the top corner to end Lille's hopes of reaching the last eight.
