Chelsea enjoys a 2-0 win over Lille in Champions League

Blues proved they can thrive without Romelu Lukaku, as they relied on Kai Havertz to score for Chelsea in the 2-0 Champions League win over Lille in the last 16 stage on Tuesday. Thomas Tuchel's team maintained control over the Ligue 1 side at Stamford Bridge, first Havertz scored with a header in the first half and Christian Pulisic then put the game out of reach for the visitors in the second.

The defending champions would now travel to France for the second leg on March 16 to advance to the quarter-finals. Chelsea decided to rest Lukaku before the match, he has failed to deliver in the last match and this season as well he scored just 10 goals for the club after the record signing of £97 million ($131 million).
