Mount's 8/10 showing leads Chelsea past Porto to close in on Champions League semifinals place

Chelsea will return to London with two away goals following their 2-0 quarterfinal first-leg win against FC Porto in the Champions League on Wednesday.

Mason Mount scored the opening goal on the night with a sensational turn and low drive following an incisive pass from Jorginho. Ben Chilwell then rounded the goalkeeper to tap into an empty net with five minutes remaining to score his first goal in the competition, and give Chelsea a huge advantage at the halfway stage of the tie.

The Blues had been second best for much of the game, though, with Porto enjoying the lion's share of possession and having more chances on goal.
