Your support makes all the difference.Chelsea moved above Dynamo Kyiv into second place in Group G after a Willian-inspired performance gave them a 2-1 victory to ease the pressure on Jose Mourinho.
Aleksandar Dragovic scored at both ends, cancelling out his unfortunate own goal with a 77th minute volley, but Willian scored a stunning free-kick to give his side a vital three points.
The Brazilian was at the heart of everything positive for the home side and the result could’ve been more comfortable had Kurt Zouma not missed a glorious chance from another inviting Willian set-piece.
The victory means that Chelsea now sit in second place, three points behind FC Porto, and are favourites to qualify with the Portuguese side.
So who impressed aside from Willian at Stamford Bridge? We take a look at the individual performances…
