Kepa blows hot and cold as Chelsea made to wait on last-16

Chelsea's hopes of Champions League progression hang in the balance after the visitors were held to a 2-2 draw by Valencia in a breath-taking encounter at the Mestalla Stadium. Knowing a win would secure progression, Frank Lampard's side started brightly, but they were dealt a sucker punch in the 40th minute when Carlos Soler's volley crept past Kepa Arrizabalaga. The response was superb, and goals from Mateo Kovacic and Christian Pulisic looked to have sealed the Blues progression, but Daniel Wass' late cross-come-shot somehow evaded Kepa Arrizabalaga to snatch his side a share of the spoils.
