Rudiger, Werner 8/10 as Chelsea frustrate Atletico, reach UCL's final eight

Chelsea eased into the quarterfinals of the Champions League thanks to a 2-0 victory (3-0 on aggregate) in their last-16 second leg against Atletico Madrid at Stamford Bridge.

Hakim Ziyech scored the crucial first goal of the night when he converted a clinical counter-attack from close range inside the area. Emerson added a late second with his first touch, and Chelsea's win ensured they defeated Diego Simeone's men 3-0 over the two legs.

Atletico had started the game well and dominated possession, but Chelsea managed to survive the early pressure and were then able to play through the press.
