Hello and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE text commentary of the Europa League last-32 clash between Chelsea and Malmo. Having faced the wrath of the Blues supporters in that dismal 2-0 home defeat to Manchester United in the FA Cup, Maurizio Sarri will be desperate for his side to protect their 2-1 lead from the first-leg and claim their place in the last-16. The Italian has stressed his side need to win three or four consecutive games, and with the Carabao Cup final with Manchester City to play on Sunday, followed by a Premier League clash with Tottenham just three days later, there would be no better time for Chelsea to find some form.

Highlights

End of 2nd Half

FULL-TIME

No problems for Chelsea tonight as they seal their place in the last-16 of the Europa League with this convincing victory over Malmo.

90'+2

GREAT SAVE! Dahlin gets a strong left hand (or shoulder?) to keep out Loftus-Cheek's shot from point-blank range to deny Chelsea a fourth.

90'

Three minutes will be added on.

88'

Willian doesn't get the height in his free-kick and the wall does its job.

87'

Chelsea win a free-kick on the edge of the penalty area, as Willian is fouled by Strandberg. Willian is over it...

84'

GOAL! Chelsea 3-0 Malmo (aggregate 5-1)

Hudson-Odoi scores! That's what the Chelsea fans wanted to see! Willian switches play to the flying-flanker, his beautiful first touch kills it and he drives into the box, burying a shot past Dahlin.

Goal

M. Chalmé

Girondins de Bordeaux

Jeering your own players? There is no excuse for that!

82'

Willian tries to play the ball into the path of Kovacic but the midfielder halts his run. Chelsea are hungry for a third.

79'

CHELSEA SUB: Amapdu takes the place of Azpilicueta in the home side's third and final switch.

GOAL! Chelsea 2-0 Malmo (aggregate 4-1)

Barkley whips the free-kick up and wall over the wall and the goalkeeper can't quite get there, as the ball nestles into the top corner. Great strike!

RED CARD! Malmo's Bengtsson is shown his marching orders for a foul on Emerson - his second bookable offence.

72'

DOUBLE MALMO SUB: Lewicki and Gall replace Christensen and Traustason as the visitors go for broke.

71'

NO FOUL! Last-man Nielsen makes a desperate last-ditch lunge on Willian, sending the Chelsea forward tumbling. The referee waves play on, despite Chelsea's protests. Replays show he may have just made contact on the ball.

69'

Chelsea are in complete control now. They are even playing with a little bit of swagger. How goals can change games, eh?

67'

66'

A diagonal ball is switched to Hudson-Odoi but his first touch lets him down. He is beaten to the ball by Safari and then commits the foul.

64'

GOAL DISALLOWED! Kante is again the driving force, as he picks possession up in midfield and slips a pass through the Malmo defence. It takes a deflection, bobbles through to Barkley who slots home what would be Chelsea's second, but it's ruled out for offside.

63'

Hudson-Odoi has impressed tonight, but has Giroud done enough to start on Sunday?
