Chelsea came through a surprisingly hard-fought tie with Slavia Prague to reach the semi-finals of the Europa League.
The Blues dominated the first half and took a 4-1 lead into the break, leading 5-1 on aggregate.
But Slavia hit back with two goals of their own at the start of the second half to make things interesting.
However, Chelsea did enough to hold on and clinch their place in the final four of the competition.
