Reigning champions, Chelsea progressed to the last 16 of the Champions League with an impressive 4-0 win against Juventus at Stamford Bridge.

It is the Italian club's heaviest defeat in the Champions League and demonstrated Chelsea's status as a serious contender to retain the trophy they won against Premier League rivals Manchester City.

The three points send Chelsea to the top of Group H.

Meanwhile, Manchester United interim boss Michael Carrick dedicated 2-0 victory over Villarreal to former manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as United booked their place in the Champions League last 16.

Goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and Jadon Sancho gave Carrick a win in his first game in temporary charge two days after Solskjaer was sacked.

In another match, Robert Lewandowski scored for the ninth successive Champions League game as Bayern Munich maintained their 100% record in Group E beating Dynamo Kyiv 2-1.
