Latest: Chelsea 2 Galatasaray 0 (Agg: 3-1)
First-half goals from Samuel Eto’o and Gary Cahill have put Chelsea within sight of the Champions League quarter-finals.
Galatasaray’s former Chelsea star Didier Drogba was given a predictably warm reception on his return to Stamford Bridge, where the hosts went ahead only four minutes into what has so far been a one-sided second leg.
Oscar linked up well with Eden Hazard to create the opening for Eto’o and the striker’s shot crept under keeper Fernando Muslera, who perhaps should have done better.
After more nice interplay involving Hazard and Oscar, Frank Lampard sent an effort over the bar.
And John Terry went close with a thumping volley from Lampard’s free-kick just after the half-hour mark.
Terry and Lampard were both involved in the second goal four minutes before the break.
The captain’s header from Lampard’s right-wing corner was parried by Muslera and Cahill was on hand to belt the loose ball into the roof of the net.
Lampard has been outstanding in midfield and one of his trademark bursts towards the box created a shooting chance for Willian early in the second half, but the Brazilian’s 25-yarder was well held by Muslera.
Oscar then fired wide of the near post as Chelsea continued to dominate.
