(Video): Chelsea race into early lead against Slavia thanks to Pedro

Chelsea have the lead against Slavia Prague, and have all but finished the tie, withing 5 minutes at Stamford Bridge.

Olivier Giroud, restored to the side, provided a clever flick to Pedro, who lifted the ball over the keeper and celebrated like someone who knew he’d just secured his team’s passage to the quarter finals.

It was an absolute peach of a goal, a team move that summed up everything good about this team.
