Eintracht Frankfurt and Chelsea are level at the break, after the visitors equalise right at the end of the half, scoring a crucial away goal through Pedro.

Frankfurt took a deserved lead midway through the half through the 21-year-old Luka Jovic, after his diving header beat Kepa and flew into the bottom corner.

But the Stamford Bridge club rallied just before the break. Ruben Loftus-Cheek kickstarted a mini-revival, lashing an effort just wide of the post before turning provider to pick out Pedro, who powered an equaliser into the corner of goal just a minute before the half-time whistle.

Sarri said they had “trouble” in defence and they have looked suspect down the left, with Danny da Costa finding joy time and again against the defender, while Andreas Christensen, on thin ice after an early booking, has looked nervy at times. It’s all to play for in the second half.

The game is finely poised now and it’s been a fairly even so far, with both teams having a few chances to score, but Chelsea now have that important away goal to take back to Stamford Bridge.
