Chelsea 2 - Porto 0: Blues move into last 16 to ease pressure on under-fire Mourinho

Jose Mourinho's side beat Porto to move into the last 16

CHELSEA cruised into the Champions League last 16 with a win over Porto at Stamford Bridge to ease the pressure on Jose Mourinho.

 

Chelsea needed just a point to be certain of qualification to the knockouts while Porto had to win.

An own goal from Iván Marcano, which needed the official behind the goal to confirm it had crossed the line, and Willian's second half strike secured the spoils for the Blues.

Dynamo Kiev's 1-0 win over Maccabi Tel Aviv in the other match knocked Porto out - despite having 10 points.

Blues boss Mourinho was under huge pressure coming into the match after Saturday's defeat to Bournemouth with reports suggesting he could lose his job if they were eliminated.

And while his future is still uncertain tonight gives him a sigh of relief ahead of Monday's clash with Leicester.
