Champions League: Chelsea 2-2 PSG aet (agg 3-3) - PSG progress on away goals




What a game. What moments of drama. Who doesn't love football after an enthralling game like that? All credit has to go to PSG for their desire to win the match despite being a man down in the first half. They controlled large spells of the match and can now look forward to the quarter-finals. For Chelsea they will have to concentrate on the Premier League title now. What does this say about the state of the Premier League though on a wider scale? Food for thought indeed

PSG's Zlatan Ibrahimovic is sent off in the first half for a tackle on Oscar. PSG striker Edinson Cavani hits the post after rounding Thibaut Courtois. Gary Cahill smashes Chelsea ahead late in the second half and David Luiz equalises for PSG with a bullet header against his former side
Eden Hazard scored a penalty in the first-half of extra time to restore Chelsea's lead after Thiago Silva was guilty of handball.


What scenes at Stamford Bridge! Silva has rectified his handball error to put PSG ahead on away goals. The PSG defender sees his header from a Lavezzi corner brilliantly saved by Courtois for another corner. From the resulting set piece Silva beats Terry in the air and loops a brilliant header over Courtois.
