Chelsea boss Sarri unhappy with 'dangerous' Kiev pitch

Olivier Giroud had a hat trick as Chelsea demolished Dynamo Kiev 5-0 in their Europa League round-of-16 second leg to win the tie 8-0 on aggregate.

Chelsea took a 3-0 first-leg lead into the match in Kiev and added an away goal inside of five minutes when Giroud pounced on a Ruben Loftus-Cheek header following a corner and redirected it past Denys Boyko for the opener.

Loftus-Cheek came close to doubling the lead shortly after, but Boyko palmed his close-range shot away from goal after Marcos Alonso had played him into the penalty area.

The hosts looked to be on level terms just after the 20-minute mark, but Denys Garmash's tidy outside-of-the-boot chip past Kepa Arrizabalaga was rightly ruled out for offsides.
