LONDON -- Loic Remy enjoyed some memorable moments during his two years as a Chelsea player, but this was the first time he had left Stamford Bridge in shocked silence. Returning to west London with Lille, the former Chelsea striker was thoroughly anonymous until the moment, 12 minutes from the end of Tuesday's decisive Champions League Group H encounter, when he stepped onto Jonathan Bamba's cut-back from the left and sent a left-footed shot bouncing into the roof of Kepa Arrizabalaga's net via the underside of the crossbar.
Chelsea had been cruising to a routine 2-0 win moments earlier -- the home fans noisily heralding an immaculately timed challenge on Luiz Araujo by Kurt Zouma -- but Remy's strike sent shivers through the stadium.
