End of 2nd Half
FT
Full-time! And a job well done by Chelsea...
What a difference a goal makes. 3-0 looks mighty fine going into next week's return leg!
90+2'
Three minutes added on, by the way...
90'
GOAL FOR CHELSEA!
Has Hudson-Odoi just put this tie to bed? He has scored for the third straight Europa League game at home, taking a touch from Loftus-Cheek's pass before stroking it past Boyko.

Chelsea on top after that mini-spell for Dynamo... just as I say that Kovacic gives the ball away and a pass only just evades Sheparenko inside the Chelsea box. Wakey wakey Chelsea.
86'
CLOSE! Almost a lifeline for Dynamo, but from Garmash's cross Sidcley ends up flicking his header nowhere near the goal. He was a good yard offside too!
Chelsea looking nervy now with Kepa flapping at a cross before a follow-up attempt deflects over.
83'
OVER! Lovely move from Chelsea and this time Pedro turns provider as he feeds in Loftus-Cheek, who takes a touch before sending it over from six yards out on the stretch,
81'
Have to wonder how happy Chelsea will be with a 2-0. It could have been more, and is an awkward lead to take to Kiev.
Better than a draw or loss obviously, but they could have made that return leg a dead rubber by now.
78'
Good night's work from Willian, who goes off just after Alonso fires wide.
On comes Hudson-Odoi, who gets the nod ahead of Hazard and Higuain.

Chelsea causing their own problems in their own half but Kepa comes out to claim a cross and ease their fears.

Sarri on the edge.
74'
Pretty sure that is Dynamo's first attempt all match.... Sidcley fires well over from 35 yards out. Yikes.
73'
Now compare that Chelsea tweet to this one...
Four years apart. Same end result.
71'
On comes Sidcley.
70'
Chelsea may as well go in search of a third, try and leave Dynamo with a mountain to climb.

Carbon. Copy.
(This was from four years ago!)

Relief for Chelsea. An unstoppable free-kick!
Immediate change for Dynamo.

Luiz and Willian both want it... but looks like Willian will take...
WHAT A GOAL!!! Stunning free-kick from Willian, who curls it into the near top corner.

Kante's first contribution is a neat little trick to draw the foul.
The camera cuts to Higuain, Hazard and Hudson-Odoi all warming up - only one sub left though.
Free-kick to Chelsea, 20 yards out, meanwhile...
62'
And Jorginho makes way for Kante - HUGE cheers for that by the way - but it's Kovacic who drops back, not the Frenchman.
