Chelsea keep the ball near the corner flag as long as they can until Azpilicueta lofts it vaguely towards the box. Jardim looks to get it forward but has no time - that's it!
FULL TIME: CHELSEA 2-1 LILLE

90' +3
Hudson-Odoi is penalised for a foul on Soumare. It's a Lille free-kick deep in their own half. Gabriel launches it forward but it only hits Willian. Willian's cross-field pass finds Hudson-Odoi, who suffers a rush of blood to the head and blazes over.
89'

GOAL! 2-1 LILLE! Hello! What's this? Remy scores on his return to Stamford Bridge! Lille put together some nice work-up play to set up Bamba with a cross from the left. Bamba cuts back to Remy on the penalty spot who lashes home off the crossbar!
That was a great cross by Bamba, who's given Lille a rather undeserved lifeline. They couldn't... Could they?
76'
Hudson-Odoi receives the ball from Batshuayi. Chelsea's teenage English winger has a pop from outside the box, but it's blocked.
Minute
Description
75'
Araujo goes a long way on his own, dribbling straight towards Chelsea's box. Zouma tracks the Brazilian and waits for just the right moment before stretching a leg out to steal the ball. It's an excellent interception.
73'
Jardim sees his first action in the game as he saves a routine shot from Kovacic from outside the box, shortly after Willian has a shot blocked. The game's dropped off in the last 15 minutes or so. Chelsea know they've done their job.
72'
M. Batshuayi enters the game and replaces T. Abraham.
Léo Jardim enters the game and replaces M. Maignan.

Chelsea substitution. Pulisic goes off to warm applause. Hudson-Odoi enters the fray.

60'
Lille get a rare corner down their left which Yazici will take. Kovacic succeeds in clearing Chelsea's lines.
58'
Willian does great work again, firing across the box towards Abraham who holds the ball up well. Azpilicueta arrives to smack it towards goal and it deflects out for another Chelsea corner that doesn't come to very much.
57'
The home crowd break into a rendition of 'Super Frankie Lampard'. And why not? Araujo cuts inside onto his left foot to angle a pass across goal but none of his teammates are there to capitalise on it.
55'
Chelsea achieve nothing this time from the corner. There's still a sense that the Blues will score again before Lille get another shot though.

This could still get worse for Lille. Celik brings down Kante in a centre-left position. Willian curls the free-kick over the ball towards Maignan who snaffles it at the second attempt.
45' +1
K. Zouma gets yellow.
Zouma is clumsy in challenging Maignan for the corner, leaving Lille's keeper down on the deck requiring treatment. Zouma's booked for the challenge. It seems a tad harsh.

41'

35'

GOAL! 2-0 CHELSEA! Chelsea's captain Azpilicueta gets on the end of Emerson's corner, making a free run towards the near post to arrow a header past Maignan. That's his second in six this European campaign.
Emerson's corner was lovely but Rudiger's work in creating the space for Azpilicueta's run can't go unappreciated. Chelsea are great value for their two goal lead.
34'
Chelsea take the corner short and Kovacic lofts the ball in. It's headed out by Celik for another Chelsea corner...
33'
Pulisic darts into the box and reaches the byline, skipping over several challenges. The American cuts the ball back for Abraham but Gabriel is there to boot it out for a Chelsea corner.
32'
Chelsea look comfortably the better side at the moment. Lille aren't threatening at all. It's just as well, as Valencia are winning 1-0 against Ajax in Amsterdam. Chelsea need this win to qualify if things stay the same there.

21'
Chelsea are on the attack again. Azpilicueta hugs the touchline, waiting for the opportunity to cut inside. He does so and Lille hack it away. They've done nothing in attack so far - they haven't had the chance to.
19'
T. Abraham has scored a goal for Chelsea! Assist by Willian.
GOAL! 1-0 CHELSEA! Kante chests down a pass for Pulisic who slides Willian in on the right of the box. Willian fires across the face of goal and Abraham cheekily backheels it in! It's a deserved lead for the home side.
Willian's assist was a great one as his stop-start movement completely deceived Pied and gave him the space to cross. The Brazilian's experience at this level showed there.
15'
Kante and Willian put together some nice interplay down the right flank to allow Azpilicueta to get in a free cross. His low effort reaches Djalo at the far post who puts his foot through it.
13'

12'

7'

6'
Kante bustles down the left flank under pressure from Djalo. The 19-year-old defender gets a foot to the ball and puts it out for Chelsea's first corner of the game.
4'

2'
Kante tries to burst down the right flank in characteristic fashion, only to let himself down with a poor touch. The ball goes out of play for a Lille throw-in.

Lille get this final Group H game underway!
Hello and welcome to our live text commentary of this UEFA Champions League Group H match between Chelsea and Lille at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea would have hoped for a smoother route to the Champions League knockout rounds than this. Frank Lampard's Blues need a win here to guarantee their progress to the next phase after stuttering through two lively draws with Ajax and Valencia in their previous two Group H games.
Lille are already guaranteed to finish bottom of Group H after picking up just one point to date. This may be their last game in Europe this season, but they enter this game on the back of three straight 1-0 wins in Ligue 1. Will Lille's solid domestic form carry over and scupper Chelsea's hopes?
CHELSEA (4-3-3): Kepa Arrizabalaga; Cesar Azpilicueta (c), Antonio Rudiger, Kurt Zouma, Emerson; N'Golo Kante, Jorginho, Mateo Kovacic; Willian, Tammy Abraham, Christian Pulisic.
SUBS: Mason Mount, Willy Caballero, Ross Barkley, Michy Batshuayi, Andreas Christensen, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Reece James.
LILLE (4-2-3-1): Mike Maignan (c); Mehmet Zeki Celik, Gabriel, Tiago Djalo, Jeremy Pied; Boubakary Soumare, Thiago Maia; Yusuf Yazici, Xeka, Luiz Araujo; Loic Remy.
SUBS: Jonathan Bamba, Leo Jardim, Domagoj Bradaric, Jose Fonte, Renato Sanches, Victor Osimhen, Jonathan Ikone.
The two teams are out on the Stamford Bridge pitch. Chelsea are in their home blue kit, while Lille will play in their all-white away strip.
Job done for Chelsea, then, who will find out their opponents in the round of 16 next Monday. The Blues don't look like favourites to lift the European Cup this season, but then we said that about them in 2012 as well. That's all for now. Goodbye!
Chelsea's win means they finish second in Group H on 11 points, just behind Valencia who held out for the 1-0 win over Ajax in Amsterdam. Ajax finish third on 10 points and drop into the Europa League, while Lille finish bottom. Their European adventure is over for this season.
