A spectacular goal from Olivier Giroud gave Chelsea a 1-0 win over Atletico Madrid in last night’s Champions League last16 game

Olivier Giroud produced another Champions League special to hand Chelsea the advantage in their last-16 tie with Atletico Madrid after a 1-0 first-leg win in Bucharest.

The Blues forward grabbed his sixth goal in the competition this season with an overhead kick in the 68th minute but it was only awarded after a lengthy VAR review.

It was thoroughly deserved for Thomas Tuchel’s side, who dominated for large parts and extended their unbeaten run under the German to eight games since his arrival on January 26.

A negative was bookings for Mason Mount and Jorginho, which rules them out of the second leg, but Atletico boss Diego Simeone knows his team will need to score at least twice next month to go through in normal time.

Callum Hudson-odoi was a surprise name in the Blues starting line-up for this tie hosted in Romania due to coronavirus travel restrictions enforced by the Spanish government.

The England international had lasted only 31 minutes following

his half-time introduction at Southampton on Saturday, but manager Tuchel played the youngster at right wing-back and he did well in his 80 minutes.

Holders Bayern Munich took control of their tie with Lazio with a 4-1 win in Rome last night.

Jamal Musiala, a 17-yearold Englishman, became Bayern’s youngest scorer in the competition as he added to Robert Lewandowski’s opener.

Leroy Sane added a third and then forced an own goal, before Joaquin Correa netted for Lazio.

Leeds ended a poor run of Premier League results with a 3-0 win over Southampton last night.

WINNER: Olivier Giroud celebrates after his spectacular strike for Chelsea.
