Chelsea defender Ben Chilwell rose when his side needed him most.
Despite taking an early lead against Porto in Wednesday night’s Champions League quarter-finals thanks to a goal from Mason Mount, he has spent much of the game under cover.
The Portuguese opponents of the Blues have fought valiantly and had it not been for a late decisive save by goalkeeper Mendy, Chelsea could easily make it into the second leg with 1-1.
