Chelsea and Sevilla became the first sides to secure progression to the last 16 of the Champions League following dramatic late victories over Rennes and Krasnodar, respectively, in Group E play on Tuesday.

The Blues booked their spot in the knockout round for the second season on the spin after substitute Olivier Giroud played the hero with a 91st-minute winner in a 2-1 victory at the Roazhon Park in Brittany.

Sevilla, meanwhile, got an even later tally to progress, with Munir El Haddadi scoring in the 95th minute to secure a similar 2-1 triumph.

Both teams now sit tied on 10 points, with top spot in the group still to be decided.

More to come.
