Chelsea beat Lille 2-1 in the game to hand Frank Lampard his first Champions League win as a manager.
Tammy Abraham put the hosts in front with a fine finish after evading a tight offside call, before Victor Osimhen equalised with a header from a corner. Grabbing his first UCL goal was a good gift for Abraham who turned 22 today.
After an end-to-end second half, Willian blasted home a fine drive from Callum Hudson-Odoi’s cross.
The win puts the Blues up to second in their group, with Ajax top after a 3-0 win at Valencia.
