Chelsea have drawn the first leg of their last-16 tie against Galatasaray in the Champions League.

The first chance of the evening went Chelsea's way. Fernando Muslera, the Gala goalkeeper, messed up his clearance and the ball landed at Willian's feet 35 yards from goal.

The Brazilian sent the ball towards the empty net, but Muslera just managed to flick it wide of the target with his head. The away fans were soon celebrating the opening goal, however, after more sloppy play in possession by the home side.

Galatasaray lost the ball on the halfway line, and the Blues took full advantage. Eden Hazard and Andre Schurrle combined to play in Cesar Azpilicueta, who then pulled the ball back for Fernando Torres to poke home.

Willian then blasted an effort into Muslera's hands, before Ramires tamely volleyed over the crossbar after being picked out in the middle by Andre Schurrle.

Galatasaray put together a decent move that concluded with Alex Telles striking the ball towards the bottom corner from 20 yards. However, Petr Cech was there to put the ball behind for a corner, which came to nothing.

There was a moment of controversy just before the break when John Terry held on to a ball that had been thrown back onto the pitch, but the hosts then used another to score what they thought was the equaliser. However, the goal was disallowed and Terry was booked for attempting to waste time.

It was a slow start from Chelsea in the second half, although Torres should have done better when through on goal but his poor touch made the save easier for Muslera.

Selcuk Inan then spurned a great chance to equalise, hitting the post from just a yard out. However, Aurelien Chedjou atoned for that error when he got free in the box to fire past Cech.

Chelsea struggled to find the form that they demonstrated in the first half, although the home side were unable to beat Cech for a second time as both sides settled for a draw.
