Monaco are throwing everything at Inter now as they seek a late equaliser. Into injury time now.

The second half at St James' is much more tame compared to the first period dramatics. Other than Osula's sighter, there's been few chances of note since the break!

FULL TIME: CHELSEA 2-0 LEVERKUSEN

CHANCE CHELSEA

Gittens almost makes an immediate impact, picking out Estevao inside the area, but the teenager can't bag a second and drags his shot wide.

There's a huge cheer at Stamford Bridge as Joao Pedro comes on for Liam Delap. Reece James and Jamie Gittens are also on for the final 30.

CHANCE INTER

The Italian side are pushing for a leveller, despite their one-man deficit, and Nicolo Barella's rising shot is kept out by new Monaco goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky.
