FULL TIME! CHELSEA QUALIFY FOR THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE KNOCKOUT STAGES. A well-earned win, but one that was put in unnecessary peril due to some poor game management, as the kids say these days.
Chelsea continue to press instead of playing it safe.
Remy sprints down the left wing behind the defence, he weighs up a shot, and he skids a low shot at Kepa instead of teeing up Yacizi for a tap-in.
Five minutes of added time are indicated.
Kante finds Willian on the left. He skins his man, and a deflected cross is worked to Batshuayi, who spins and volleys an effort acrobatically over the bar.
Four minutes remaining, and Chelsea have the ball in Lille's half. They are content to keep it for now, obviously concerned they let things slip.
The French side are getting giddy with hope.
And Mason Mount. That's the last change that will be made by either side.

Batshuayi finds Hudson-Odoi, who spins and makes room for a shot, and blasts it into Gabriel's head with such force that the defender will need some attention.
And here is Jardim.

Willian is fouled by Pied, as they challenge for a high ball. In the Lille area, Maignan is down and requires treatment. Leo Jardim is warming up.

Lille win a corner on the left. It's booted away after Yazici sends in a low shot to the near post.
Willian finds Abraham just outside the six yard box. He attempts to spin his marker but can't lose him, so tees up Azpilicueta, who can't force a shot through on goal.
A fan's view.
Kante attempts a cross on the right after a swift passing move, but Gabriel moves across to block it behind for a corner.
