After a quiet first-half, Chelsea sparked into life when Olivier Giroud stooped low to head in the opener.

That looks set to be his last ever Chelsea goal – and the club have reportedly already agreed a fee with Real Madrid.
According to The Sun, Chelsea will receive £100m with a possible further £15m in add-ons, with Hazard signing a four-year deal worth a basic £400,000 a week.
