• Chelsea beat Borussia Dortmund 2-0 on a colourful night at Stamford Bridge
• The Blues overturned a first-leg deficit to reach the Champions League last 8
• Goals from Raheem Sterling and Kai Havertz eased pressure on Graham Potter

Chelsea beat Borussia Dortmund 2-0 on a colourful and loud night at Stamford Bridge, to overturn the 1-0 loss in the first leg and qualify for the quarter-final of the 2022/23 UEFA Champions League.

The win was the Blues' second in four days after beating Leeds United at the weekend, helping to relieve pressure on embattled head coach, Graham Potter.

Raheem Sterling gave Chelsea the lead in the first half to draw level on aggregate scores before newly designated penalty taker, Kai Havertz scored from the spot in the second half.

The German missed on his first attempt before a retake was given due to encroachment, sparking some controversy.

Reece James trolls Dortmund

The defeat against Chelsea ended the Bundesliga giants' run of competitive wins - 11 in a row if one takes into account the mid-season friendly against Fortuna Dusseldorf, as reported by OJB Sports.

According to CBS Sports, English defender, Reece James passed a late fitness test to start the game against Dortmund after missing the weekend win over Leeds United due to a tight hamstring.

He completed the 90 minutes in his favoured right wing-back position.

James then trolled Borussia Dortmund on Twitter with a tweet referencing the end of Dortmund's winning streak.

"11 out of 12 ain't bad... Welcome to Stamford Bridge."
