HT: Chelsea 1-1 PSG. Costa cancels out Rabiot's opener. The Blues trail 3-2 on aggregate but are very much in this tie after a pulsating 45 minutes of football.

Kenedy plays a fine pass into space for Costa who charges towards goal and lets rip with a low drive that Trapp can't hold. Fortunately for the PSG stopper a defender is on hand to hack away the rebound.

Fabregas booked for a high boot on Motta.

Costa surges towards goal and tries to slip a ball in behind the PSG defence, but it ricochets back off the forward and loops up into the air for Trapp to claim.

PSG lose the ball cheaply in their own half once more. Costa jinks towards goal and when the ball falls kindly for Hazard the playmaker wastes little time in lashing a shot on target that Trapp manages to hold.

Mottta booked for tripping Fabregas in Chelsea's half. Seemed a bit harsh considering what the referee has let go at earlier points in the half.

A lightning break is led by Willian on the right flank. the Brazilian does brilliantly to tee up Pedro who lays it into the path of Fabregas, but the Spanish midfielder drags a shot from 20 yards wide.

PSG attempting to play a bit of keep ball but there sharpness is lacking. The game is suffering a bit of a lull after such a supercharged start.

CHANCE! Lucas races into space on the right and delivers a deep cross that Zlatan can only head into the grateful arms of Courtois.

GOAL!!!!! Chelsea are level. Pedro wins the ball deep in PSG territory and lays it to Willian who finds Costa. The striker weaves into the area and places the ball into the far corner. (PSG lead 3-2 on agg).
