On the list of managers who deserve a bit of luck, Graham Potter's name would be right up near the top.
Surely not even his biggest doubters could begrudge him the breaks he got against Borussia Dortmund.
The in-form Germans were missing their first-leg match winner Karim Adeyemi and equally-decisive, highly-rated goalkeeper Gregor Kobel for the return.
The goal that levelled the tie on aggregate came after a Raheem Sterling air-shot briefly deceived Dortmund's defence before working in his favour.
The goal that sent Chelsea through was a re-taken penalty after Kai Havertz's initial effort hit the post and controversially awarded in the first place.
