Chelsea already had the lead in this game, but with less than 15 minutes they were up by 2.
The Blues countered swiftly to take on Slavia’s exposed defence, and Eden Hazard played a lovely ball across the goal for Pedro.
He somehow missed the goal from a yard, hitting the post, but the ball ricocheted directly off the face of Slavia defender Deli and into the net.
It was a real stroke of bad luck for them, and it pretty much seals our passage to the semi finals now.
Please can we take Eden Hazard off now? If he were to get injured it would break our hearts.

Here's one of the stranger own goals that you'll see.
Pedro misses an open goal, his shot deflects off the post onto the head of Simon Deli, and it's an own goal.#CHESLP #UEL #OptusSport pic.twitter.com/Y0pHrEO6ND
