Chelsea edged into the UEFA Conference League semi-finals on Thursday when a 2-1 home defeat by Legia Warsaw was enough for a 4-2 aggregate win.

Chelsea went 1-0 down to a 10th minute penalty before Marc Cucurella's close-range equaliser on 33, but French defender Steve Kapuadi put the Poles ahead again in the 53rd minute with what proved to be the winner on the night.

Legia had a lively following at Stamford Bridge with flares and shirtless chanting from around 1,000 clearly delighted fans.

Thanks to their 3-0 win in Poland a week ago, Chelsea however will next face Sweden's Djurgardens, who thumped 10-man Rapid Vienna 4-1 away in extra-time their second leg.
