FULL TIME: It's all over - Chelsea's youngsters take maximum points in a hard fought victory!
90+2
Chelsea get away with one! Tomori gives the ball back to Kepa, who clearly doesn't want it. He makes a mess of his clearance, gifting Rocha a wonderful chance to equalise, but the Spanish goalkeeper is brave to dive at his feet and smother the ball to rescue the situation.
90'
FOUR minutes will be added on.

Chelsea will go second in Group H, as it stands. Early days, of course, but this would be a huge victory.

No penalty! Osimhen is through on goal but Kepa takes the ball from his feet cleanly. He goes down theatrically but the referee isn't fooled. That was a nervy moment.
81'
If Chelsea can hold onto this lead it would cap a fine week for Lampard. He earned his first home victory in the Premier League on Saturday, keeping their first clean sheet under the Englishman in the process. This would be Lampard's first win in the Champions League as Blues boss.

Have Lille got anything left?

GOAAAAALLLLLL! Lille 1-2 Chelsea: A textbook volleyed finish from Willian puts the Blues in control - Hudson-Odoi is the provider! The Brazilian times his volley to perfection to blast home from the substitute's cross. Can Chelsea hang on?

Mount is through! He controls Willian's pass beautifully but his shot is pushed wide by the fingertips of Maignan.

Chelsea have gone to a back four, by the way.
72'
Chelsea manage to open Lille up, Abraham drawing the goalkeeper out wide but his cross is hacked clear by the hosts, who counter quickly. It's selfish from Osimhen, who blazes over from outside the box.
72'
Hudson-Odoi is involved immediately, picking out Mount who forces a corner, but the set-piece comes to nothing.
71'
As it stands Chelsea are third, five points adrift of the leaders Ajax, who they play in back-to-back games next.
70'
Valencia are 3-0 down, at home, to Ajax in the other game currently being played in Group H.

Lille sub: Renato Sanches, yes, once on loan at Swansea, takes the place of Andre.
