FT: Atletico Madrid 1-2 Chelsea

Well! That changes the complexion of this group. Atletico would have been happy to take the point, but now, will have to get a positive result against Roma. The game was an entertaining one, but the home side will feel they should have held on. As a neutral, though, Chelsea perhaps deserved to win the game on account of the number of chances they created. 

Despite taking off their biggest goal threats in Hazard and Morata, the team produced the goods which says a lot about their depth. That's two wins out of two, and Chelsea will feel confident they can finish as group leaders even though there are two tough games against AS Roma coming up. 

It was some game, lads and lasses. Time to wrap up and get some sleep! This is Amit Mishra signing off, and hope you enjoyed the game. For feedbacks, don't hesitate to tweet @Leamitmishra.

Well well well! Kante, Alonso and Bakayoko combine well and refrain from shooting. Alonso, who finds himself in acres of space, crosses it in for Batshuayi to tap it in. It was the last kick of the game. Late drama at the Metropolitano!

FT: Atletico Madrid 1-2 Chelsea

20:36 (GMT)27 SEP 2017

90 + 3' GOAL FOR CHELSEA!!! And what a goal it was! Stunning play! 

20:35 (GMT)27 SEP 2017

90 + 3' Late free-kick for Chelsea. Can they conjure something from this? 

20:34 (GMT)27 SEP 2017

90 + 2' Gimenez shapes as if he is going to cross, but takes a wild shot. Goal kick. That should do it.   

20:33 (GMT)27 SEP 2017

Three minutes have been added on. 

20:32 (GMT)27 SEP 2017

90' Griezmann nearly sneaks in on goal, but it's cleared by Luiz. He hasn't had good service today, but with the little he's had, he has failed to produce. 

20:31 (GMT)27 SEP 2017

88' Chelsea's substitutions have taken the sting off their attack. Hazard and Morata were real threats. Willian and Batshuayi have failed to combine so far. 

20:29 (GMT)27 SEP 2017

Atletico are trying to finish strong, but their passing is letting them down in the final third again. 

20:28 (GMT)27 SEP 2017

Substitution for Chelsea: Christensen replaces Fabregas. 

20:28 (GMT)27 SEP 2017

85' Atletico play some lovely stuff there! An intricate move sees Gaitan collect the ball and cross it in for Luis who flicks it into the box, but it's cleared by the defence. From the second ball, Griezmann gets his chance but scuffs his shot. 

20:25 (GMT)27 SEP 2017

83' Atletico have become a lot more aimless with their passing than they were before. Fatigue creeping in now. 

20:24 (GMT)27 SEP 2017

Substitutions for Chelsea: Batshuayi is on for Morata, Hazard is replaced by Willian. 

20:23 (GMT)27 SEP 2017

81' Griezmann decides to cross and it's easily cleared by Chelsea. From the subsequent move, Saul's cross-cum-shot is gathered safely by Courtois. 

20:21 (GMT)27 SEP 2017

80' Freekick to Atletico Madrid. Dangerous position this. 

20:21 (GMT)27 SEP 2017

78' Atletico try to pass it around but inevitably, lose it while playing that final pass. We haven't seen consistent possession yet. It's end to end and game of counter-attacking football. 

20:19 (GMT)27 SEP 2017

Substitution for Atletico Madrid: Gimenez replaces Partey who was on a yellow. 

20:18 (GMT)27 SEP 2017

76' CHANCE FOR ATLETICO!!! Torres break with pace, has Griezmann as a runner, but instead sees glory and shoots. It's safely collected by Courtois. 

20:17 (GMT)27 SEP 2017

75' Chelsea haven't shied away from using the hoofball every now and then and it has worked pretty well. In Morata, they have an able player. 

20:16 (GMT)27 SEP 2017

73' Decent chance for Kante. He is free inside the box, gets the ball on his right, shifts it to his left and tries to smash it in. 

20:14 (GMT)27 SEP 2017

72' It seems like Torres will play as the central striker. Griezmann will play on the right, Gaitan on the left. 

20:13 (GMT)27 SEP 2017

70' Atletico's counters have look disjointed tonight. Chelsea have disrupted them well. 

20:12 (GMT)27 SEP 2017

Substitution for Atletico Madrid: Gaitan is on for Correa. Like for like replacement. 

20:11 (GMT)27 SEP 2017

Substitution for Atletico Madrid: Torres comes on for Carrasco. 

20:10 (GMT)27 SEP 2017

68' Everytime Hazard gets the ball, he looks threatening. They've struggled to deal with him. 

20:09 (GMT)27 SEP 2017

67' Partey tries one from about 35 yards out, and it goes way over the bar.

20:08 (GMT)27 SEP 2017

65' And as I say that, Atleti create an opening. Correa's cross is cleared by Luiz for a corner. Nothing comes off the subsequent set-piece as Godin is penalised. 

20:07 (GMT)27 SEP 2017

64' Fabregas has wasted more than one freekick tonight. Hasn't been able to clear the first defender in some of them. Chelsea firmly in the ascendancy now as Atletico are struggling to string passes together. 

20:05 (GMT)27 SEP 2017

62' CHANCE FOR CHELSEA!!! An absolute fracas in the box ends with Hazard squaring it to Fabregas who has the goal at his mercy. Well, his scuffs his effort. Should have been 1-2 to the away side. 

20:02 (GMT)27 SEP 2017

Sumptuous cross by Eden Hazard finds Morata in the box, who is ahead of Hernandez. Alonso's run takes away Godin. Chelsea deserve to be level. They've created a lot of chances. Game on!

20:01 (GMT)27 SEP 2017

59' GOAL FOR CHELSEA!!! Morata, finally, heads one in. It was coming! 

20:01 (GMT)27 SEP 2017

58' Griezmann, despite scoring the penalty, has been off-colour tonight. His touch lets him down on the counter as Atleti try to break forward. 

19:57 (GMT)27 SEP 2017

55' Unbelievable. Chelsea keep winning these second balls yet can't conjure a shot. In the subsequent move, Moses hits a first-time shot, but it bends away from the goal. 

19:56 (GMT)27 SEP 2017

54' Bad challenge from Griezmann. He joins Luiz and Partey in the caution book. 

19:54 (GMT)27 SEP 2017

51' Dear me! A smashing cross by Azpiliceta nearly finds his compatriot Morata. The travelling Chelsea fans have seen everything but a goal from their side!

19:52 (GMT)27 SEP 2017

50' Morata nearly breaks through after Cahill's pass squirms through to Jan Oblak. 

19:51 (GMT)27 SEP 2017

49' Koke's freekick finds Saul who leaps higher than Bakayoko and heads it wide. Half a chance that. 

19:50 (GMT)27 SEP 2017

47' Chelsea have started piling the pressure already. They'll need to be more clinical, and of course, watch out for the Atleti counters! 

19:49 (GMT)27 SEP 2017

Second half is underway!!!

19:33 (GMT)27 SEP 2017

19:33 (GMT)27 SEP 2017

45 + 1' Chance for Atletico!!! A smooth counter-attacking move sees Saul at the heart of everything. Koke receives the pass from Saul and takes a shot which is saved by Courtois. Saul isn't able to convert the rebound! 

19:30 (GMT)27 SEP 2017

One minute added on. 

19:29 (GMT)27 SEP 2017

44' Atletico are a counter-attacking machine and having scored a goal, they look much more confident in their attacking forays now. 

19:28 (GMT)27 SEP 2017

42' Chance for Chelsea!!! They nearly equalise! Fabregas' freekick is cleared, and it falls to Alonso. His shot is deflected for a corner. 

19:27 (GMT)27 SEP 2017

David Luiz was the culprit! Was clearly seen pulling the shirt of Lucas Hernandez and the ref spotted it. Cannot get away with that in a Champions League game. Should have been more careful there. Atletico lead, completely against the run of play. You don't want to be behind against El Cholo's side!

19:25 (GMT)27 SEP 2017

40' GOAL FOR ATLETICO MADRID!!! Griezmann smashes in the penalty! 

19:24 (GMT)27 SEP 2017

39' PENALTY TO ATLETICO MADRID!!!

19:24 (GMT)27 SEP 2017

39' Carrasco combines well with Griezmann and his shot is deflected for a corner! Nearly the perfect counter. 

19:22 (GMT)27 SEP 2017

37' Atletico need to bring their wide players into the game. Chelsea have had it far too easy.
