KALOU TAKES CHELSEA A STEP CLOSER...
Chelsea took a step closer to the Champions League semi-finals with a 1-0 away win against Benfica.
After struggling with congested fixtures in the Premier League, Roberto Di Matteo made several changes to freshen up the team.
Chelsea began the game defensively but their disciplined performance paid off when Fernando Torres set up Salomon Kalou to score an all-important away goal late in the game.
David Luiz was magnificent alongside John Terry against his former club - while Di Matteo made his case for taking over the manager’s job permanently, despite France coach Laurent Blanc being linked with a £6m-a-year contract.
Winning the Champions League may be the only way the Blues qualify for the competition next season, as they have slipped to fifth in the league.
