"A brilliant gesture from the chairman". - Bruce Buck went to the away end and gave out ... wait for it ... packets of crisps.

Off we go again ... can PAOK do something, anything.

Chelsea have made this look very easy; PAOK have made it very easy for them. There's a difference in class, of course, but if you let a side so far superior enjoy time on the ball like this, you're toast. There's still time though, because it's only 0-1, but even Morata can't keep missing like this.

Half-time: PAOK 0-1 Chelsea
45'
PAOK win a free-kick out on the left touchline and Jaba hammers it towards Kepa, who flaps but escapes thanks to cover from Alonso.
43'
Chelsea have barely needed Kante so far - that's how easy this is for them.

Oh what! The corner picks out Morata, and he makes a beautiful connection with it, coaxing a header just wide. This life.

Chelsea counter with Willian, who slides out to Alonso down the left. He sees Pedro nashing through the middle and finds him with a perfectly measured pass ... but as Paschalakis advances, his first touch is slightly strong and he ends up driving low into midriff and the ball goes behind. That really should've been two.

Nice from Barkley, who's enjoying himself. He finds Alonso, and his cross is headed behind; this time, Willian looks for the back post and again Paschalakis flaps, but manages to avoid getting a touch and the ball goes behind for a goalkick.
35'
PAOK aren't putting Chelsea under any pressure, so it's not even hard for them to keep possession. Sooner or later, they're going to have another hole picked in their defence, because you can't let quality players have it easy like this.

Chelsea keep possession.

A crossfield ball finds Jaba with a bit of space, but in an instant, Alonso is into him. What a buy that Sunderland reject turned out to be

Nice from Moarata, swaying inside his man before nipping outside ... he's got a sight of goal ... he's blasted the ball over the top!

That'll sort it.

PAOK are struggling to get a decent touch here, and thinking about matters domestic, perhaps Chelsea can do a bit of what City did last season: limit risk by denying possession. I wonder, though, how good Jorginho and Kante will be when put under pressure by quality players.
23'
Nothing comes of it.
22'
Shakhov gets the ball to Jaba, but there's no one up with him so he has to run towards the corner, where he wins a throw.

Lovely ball over the top from Rudiger and Morata controls beautifully, catching it on the outside of right foot and tranfserring it into his path without breaking stride. He bursts into the box, on its left, and really ought to score, but instead he moratas it wide of the far post. Of course he does.
