Chelsea put their foot on the ball and show some composure. Good goalkeeping from Kerzhakov to come a claim a long Saul diagonal.
Play is stopped with Zenit striker Azmoun down and struggling. Zenit do have the big target man Artem Dzyuba on the bench. And that’s the change made.
Zenit enjoying a second wind now, patiently trying to find that extra pass in the box. They have another corner. Chelsea defend well but Zenit come forward again and flash a ball right across the six-yard box. Azmoun and Sarr collided but not sure that’s a foul. Lukaku is coming off with 75 minutes in the tank, replaced by Havertz.
Lovren with a long diagonal pass to Claudinho, and his cross is turned behind by Saul for a Zenit corner. The delivery was poor, but the follow up cross was far more threatening and Kepa plunged to his left to produce a stunning save and keep out Azmoun’s header!
Christian Pulsic has been brought on by Tuchel, replacing Ross Barkley. A long-range Zenit shot deflects behind for a corner so Chelsea have some defending to do. Cleared, and on the counter Werner dallied before he could get his shot off. Hudson-Odoi has also been replaced by Hakim Ziyech.
