Dynamo Kiev 0-5 Chelsea: Report, Ratings & Reaction as Blues Cruise Into Europa League Last 8

Chelsea qualified for the quarter-finals of the Europa League in style, as they beat Dynamo Kiev 5-0 (8-0 on aggregate) on Thursday afternoon.

Chelsea opened the scoring after just five minutes, as Olivier Giroud poked home from close range. It was a blistering start from the Blues, as they all but secured their berth in the final eight early on.

Giroud got his second of the night just after the half hour mark, slotting home a delightful cross from Marcos Alonso to deservedly double Chelsea's lead. Alonso got his goal moments before half-time, as he finished off Callum Hudson-Odoi's excellent low cross.
