| Eden Hazard hit the post in the first half |
CHELSEA earned a valuable point on their travels in Kiev but remain third in group G.
The Blues came close to grabbing a win in Kiev, something no English team has managed in Ukraine's capital, twice rattling the woodwork.
Eden Hazard was first to see an effort hit the upright, a deft shot that forced a fine save out of Dynamo's veteran goalkeeper Oleksandr Shovkovskiy on nine minutes.
And Willian was also thwarted by the frame of the goal, hitting the bar with a freekick a minute into the second half.
Chelsea had a strong penalty appeal turned down early on when Cesc Fabregas went down under a Serhiy Rybalka challenge.
Jose Mourinho's side now have won just one of the last five games in all competitions, and will probably come away from the game feeling disappointed after twice coming close to scoring.
However, this was a much improved display on the European stage by the reigning Premier League champions following their 2-1 defeat away to Porto on 29 September.
Porto's 2-0 win over Maccabi Tel-Aviv means Chelsea remain third in the group with four points from three games, one behind second-placed Kiev and four adrift of leaders Porto.
