Porto 0-2 Chelsea: Blues Take Control of Champions League Quarter-final

Mason Mount and Ben Chilwell both scored in the Champions League for the first time as Chelsea took firm control of their quarter-final tie with two away goals against FC Porto.

Back in the starting lineup following his England exertions, Mount showcased an exquisite control and turn after collecting Jorginho’s pass and slotted past Agustin Marchesin to give the Blues a half-time lead on neutral territory at Sevilla’s Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium – which will also play host to the second leg on April 13.

Three Lions team-mate Chilwell then popped up with the all-important second five minutes from time, catching Jesus Manuel Corona in possession before gliding past another defender and the goalkeeper and sliding into an empty net.

The perfect response from Chelsea to Saturday’s shock 5-2 Premier League home thrashing by relegation-threatened West Brom – their first defeat under Thomas Tuchel.
