    FT: Chelsea 3-0 Malmo (5-1 agg) - A comfortable win in the end for the hosts, who took a while to get going. Malmo looked threatening early on, but Chelsea soon gained control thanks to goals from Olivier Giroud, Ross Barkley and Callum Hudson-Odoi. To add insult to injury, Malmo went down to ten men on 74 minutes thanks to Rasmus Bengtsson's red card.
  • 91'
    CHELSEA CHANCE - Loftus-Cheek slams a close range shot against Dahlin.
  • 90'
    THREE minutes added on.
  • 87'
    Credit to the Malmo fans, they're currently making more noise than ever.
Goal
Goaaaaaal!

  • 84'
    GOOOOAAALL FOR CHELSEA - Callum Hudson-Odoi wraps it up! The Englishman picks up the ball on the right before driving into the box and slamming a shot across goal and past Dahlin. That's put a smile on Sarri's face.
  • 80'
    Now Malmo have another problem - Soren Rieks is injured. It's all falling apart for the visitors.
  • 79'
    Young Welshman Ethan Ampadu is on for Cesar Azpilicueta. A typically solid game from the Spaniard.
  • 77'
    And that will be Barkley's last touch of the game - he is replaced by Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
  • 76'
    GOOOAAALL FOR CHELSEA!! And direct from the free-kick that Bengtsson conceded, Barkley scores! A fine curling strike into the top corner. Game, set and match.
  • 74'
    Bengtsson's off for a second yellow! Surely that's the end of Malmo's Europa League journey now?
  • 71'
    Willian bursts onto Barkley's through ball and tries to knock the ball into the penalty area, but is brought down by Lasse Nielsen. Stamford Bridge screams for a penalty, but nothing is given.
  • 68'
    Malmo desperately need to start throwing caution to the wind, but Chelsea are currently in complete control. The visitors can't get near their slick passing, and are beginning to look pretty tired as a result.
Goal disallowed

Goal disallowed

  • 64'
    Barkley runs onto a loose ball and slots into the bottom corner, but his goal is ruled out. The ball touched Kante last before running free, at which point Barkley was offside.

    After a few minutes on the touchline, Rosenberg doesn't look like he's going to recover from that injury. 22 year-old forward Carlos Strandberg comes on in his place.
  • 58'
    Rosenberg is down after losing an aerial duel to Chelsea's Andreas Christensen. The Malmo striker looked to have fallen very awkwardly there, this could be fairly serious.

  • 55'
    GOOOAALL FOR CHELSEA!! Kante charges down the middle of the pitch before slipping Willian in on his left. The Brazilian puts a perfect centre in for the onrushing Giroud, who can tap home. 1-0!

    And Bengtssen goes into the book almost immediately afterwards for a dangerous slide tackle on Barkley.

    Malmo's Anders Christiansen is shown a yellow card.
  • 49'
    Bit of pressure from Malmo - first they first a corner then they retain possession and send in a couple of crosses. The beginning of a second half onslaught? They've got to go for it now, and need a minimum of two goals to progress.
  • 47'
    Someone's let off a flare, meaning the pitch is still slightly obscured by smoke at the moment...
  • 46'
    And we're back underway! Big half ahead.
  • 45'
    HT: Chelsea 0-0 Malmo - The referee doesn't add any injury time, and that's that for the first half. Both sides had chances early on, but neither could force an opening. Surely Malmo will have to go for it in the coming half?
  • 43'
    Rosenberg kicks Mateo Kovacic hard on the thigh and goes into the book. Ah well, at least something's happened.
  • 41'
    Very little action to speak of - the game's slowed down a fair bit. Both managers are barking orders from their technical areas like their lives depended on it. Well, their jobs do.
  • 36'
    Still Chelsea have control of the ball. Malmo seem to have lost their early impetus.
  • 32'
    CHELSEA CHANCE - Willian plays a one-two with Hudson-Odoi from a corner before firing a low ball into the six-yard box. Azpilicueta sort of falls on top of the ball under pressure from a Malmo defender, and it rolls harmlessly for Malmo goalkeeper Johan Dahlin to gather.
  • 31'
    The hosts seem to have settled a bit, and are now knocking the ball about with a lot more conviction.
  • 27'
    Chelsea finally enjoying a sustained period of possession. No chances for a while at Stamford Bridge.
  • 23'
    Given the first leg finished 2-1 to Chelsea, a 1-0 win for Malmo tonight would still see them eliminated on away goals. 2-1 and we'd go to penalties, 3-2 and Malmo would go through.
  • 21'
    Malmo on the attack again. They're giving this a good go.
  • 17'
    CHELSEA CHANCE - Giroud receives the ball in the area and swings a boot at it, but his effort is blocked. Decent game this.
  • 16'
    Sarri looks fed up on the touchline. He retreats to his seat and immediately begins scribbling into his notepad.
  • 13'
    MALMO CHANCE - Markus Rosenberg twists away from his marker on the edge of the area and flashes a low strike across goal. It goes narrowly wide. Another chance goes begging!
  • 11'
    Still Malmo seeing more of the ball. Worrying start to the game for Chelsea. Whenever they do get the ball they are hassled and harried by the visitors' high press.
  • 7'
    CHELSEA CHANCE - Hudson-Odoi jinks down the Chelsea right before slipping in N'Golo Kante, who crosses for Giroud. The Frenchman gets to the ball but heads well over.
  • 5'
    Malmo also dominating the ball so far. Could we be in for a shock this evening? The way Chelsea have been playing, I wouldn't be surprised.
  • 4'
    MALMO CHANCE - Early chance for Malmo - Rasmus Bengtsson heads just over from a cross. Uwe Rosler can't believe he's missed.
  • 2'
    What will the latest chapter in the Maurizio Sarri saga have in store for us? We're about to find out...

    And we're off!

    We're all set at Stamford Bridge. Kick-off is imminent.
  • PRVW
    The players are out and warming up, not long to go now...
  • PRVW
    There's a lot riding on this match for Maurizio Sarri, with the Chelsea manager under extreme pressure following damaging defeats to the two Manchester teams. Anything other than progression to the next round would surely spell the end for the Italian.
  • PRVW
    Malmo have arrived at Stamford Bridge!
  • PRVW
    Malmo manager Uwe Rosler opts for the exact same XI that started the first leg. Arnór Ingvi Traustason and Markus Rosenberg in particular had a strong game for the Swedes, and will be hoping for repeat performances this evening.
  • PRVW
    And the starting line-up for tonight's visitors, Malmo: Dahlin, Vindheim, Nielsen, Bengtsson, Safari, Traustason, Christiansen, Bachirou, Rieks, Rosenberg, Antonsson.
  • PRVW
    So Eden Hazard and Gonzalo Higuain drop to the bench, while Olivier Giroud and Callum Hudson-Odoi have a big chance to show what they can do. Willy Caballero starts in goal ahead of Kepa, while Emerson Palmieri comes in at left-back. Marcos Alonso, who is rumoured to have fallen out with Maurizio Sarri, does not even make the bench.
  • PRVW
    Time for some team news, starting with our hosts, Chelsea: Caballero; Azpilicueta, Christensen, Rudiger, Emerson; Barkley, Kante, Kovacic; Hudson-Odoi, Giroud, Willian.
  • PRVW
    We're currently in the Round of 32 stage of the Europa League, with Chelsea having won the first leg 2-1.
