Read on the website Vestnik Kavkaza

Chelsea booked their place in the Champions League knockout stages on Wednesday as a superb performance from Willian inspired the Blues to a 4-0 win over Qarabag in Baku.

Eden Hazard opened the scoring for the visitors with his 21st-minute penalty after Willian had been tugged back by Qarabag captain Rashad Sadygov, who was subsequently shown a straight red card.

With the hosts down to 10 men, Chelsea dominated the clash and went 2-0 up when Willian latched onto Hazard's back-heel to score in the 36th minute.

Cesc Fabregas then converted a second-half penalty - awarded for a shirt pull on Willian - before the Brazilian netted a superb effort with five minutes left to play to secure a 4-0 win that sent Chelsea into the last 16 of the Champions League with a game left to play, the Evening Standard reported.
