After a strong opening twenty minutes for the visitors, Chelsea took the lead through an Enzo Fernandez penalty.

However, the hosts quickly grew back into the game and Vergara pulled off a spectacular spin against struggling Chelsea defender Wesley Fofana, before slotting the ball into the far corner and sending the stadium into raptures.

Conte’s side took the lead before half-time thanks to a goal from Rasmus Hojlund, and you can follow all the action from tonight’s Champions League games, as it happens, on our Live Blog.
