Ukraine in the neck for Terry

Shakhtar Donetsk 2 Chelsea 1

The Blues were ruthlessly punished by Alex Teixeira and Fernandinho goals at the Donbass Arena, despite Oscar’s late consolation, as the Ukraine side deservedly took charge of Group E in the first of what could be a crucial double-header.

Chelsea were spared dropping out of the qualification places by Juventus’s shock draw at Nordsjaelland, but they will need to do much better at Stamford Bridge in two weeks to avoid doing so.
