Chelsea Player Ratings: Slavia Prague (H)

Chelsea progressed to the semi-finals of the Europa League after defeating Slavia Prague 4-3 at Stamford Bridge, resulting in a 5-3 aggregate victory.

The Blues played their part in a dramatic second-leg affair but were able to advance after blowing their Czech counterparts away in the first half of the quarter-final clash.

It took just five minutes for Chelsea to open the scoring through Pedro before the Spaniard was again involved as Simon Deli turned into his own net, making it 2-0 to the hosts after nine minutes.

Olivier Giroud netted his 10th Europa League goal of the campaign after 17 minutes before Slavia Prague pulled one back courtesy of Tomas Soucek.

Chelsea were back in the goals again two minutes after their visitors responded, with Pedro netting his second of the evening on the 27th-minute mark.

A second-half fightback from Slavia Prague saw Petr Sevcik score two exceptionally-taken strikes within three minutes of each other, to bring the scoreline to 4-3.

Chelsea will face Eintracht Frankfurt in the semi-finals of the Europa League after they defeated Benfica on away goals following a 4-4 aggregate draw.
