Forget Werner's goal - this was the highlight of the first-half!

Half-time: Chelsea lead at the break through Timo Werner's first goal for the club, with Tottenham having barely laid a glove on the visitors.

Yellow card! Kovacic barges into Lamela, who was on the move for Spurs. It's a cynical foul and the Chelsea midfielder deservedly goes into the book.

Two minutes of stoppage-time to play.
43'
Reguilon makes an important intervention to break up a Chelsea attack, which prompts applause from Jose. That will do his confidence the world of good after a nervy start to life in England.
41'
Tottenham could do with their talisman. The hosts have only registered one shot on target thus far and with Son injured for this tie, the England international is their best hope of changing this game.
40'
Five minutes until the half-time break. Kane is fixing his shinpads on the bench which suggests we may see him in the later stages of this game.

Werner's goal... His first goal in Chelsea colours. The first of many, you would think.

Save! Mendy is called into action for the first time in his Chelsea career. It's a comfortable save with his feet, though, as Lamela's shot from an acute angle lacked the power to really test him.

Haha, wow.

32'
Reguilon's defending has been questionable so far but he gets a chance to run at the Chelsea back-line now. But he moves it sidewards and Spurs give the ball away.
31'
Sanchez had been warming up to come on for Spurs - but he has since put his top back on and Dier is going to continue.

29'
Dier looks fine to continue after all. He stays on the pitch for now.
26'
Mourinho and Lampard are having a word on the touchline.
25'
Things go from bad to worse for Spurs, who are about to lose Dier to injury. He's down and requires treatment.
22'
Chance for Tottenham to equalise! Gedson pounces on a loose ball in the penalty area, but loses his footing at the vital moment, and Zouma gets an important touch to deny Spurs.

GOAL! Tottenham 0-1 Chelsea (Werner): Werner is off the mark for Chelsea! Reguilon is to blame on his Spurs debut, as he gives the ball away in a dangerous area and then misses his tackle on Azpilicueta. He feeds Werner, who shapes up for the shot and rifles it into the bottom right corner. Chelsea deservedly lead.

Shot! Tanganga - restored to Spurs' defence after recovering from an ankle injury - breathes a sigh of relief as he slips and misses Hudson-Odoi's pass to Mount. But his shot is straight at Lloris.
