Chelsea survive Porto scare, qualify for UCL semi-final

Chelsea have reached their 8th Champions League semi-final, more than any other English side.

Porto won 1-0 on the night at Stamford Bridge but it was Chelsea that qualified for the semi-final with a 2-1 aggregate win.

It was a game of very few chances, with the Blues putting in a good defensive performance to keep Porto at bay until the final minutes.

Late in stoppage time, the substitute Taremi scored an exceptional goal, beating Mendy with an overhead kick, but they left it too late to give themselves a chance of beating Chelsea.
