That’s all from us!
Thank you so much for joining us for this game, it was a cracker as we expected!
If you haven’t quite got your football fix for tonight, then catch a bit more as we reflect on Manchester City’s win over Arsenal, which sees them go to the top of the table!
Goodnight!
Man of the match
It’s really tough to choose a man of the match from that game, as there were so many good performances.
We are going to go for Dortmund keeper Gregor Kobel.
He was solid in goal, and punched away every corner that came his way, as well as pulling out stunning stops to deny Reece James on two occasions and Enzo Fernandez.
Thiago Silva was brilliant at the back for The Blues, and Adeyemi’s goal made the difference, but the score could well have been in Chelsea’s favour had the Swiss stopper not been in net.
Who was your man of the match?

Elation for Dortmund!
While Chelsea were unfortunate not to score, you have to give credit to Dortmund, who did everything necessary to get the result tonight.
Captained by Jude Bellingham who was brilliant as usual, they put in the fight, determination and dirty work where needed to leave Germany with a 1-0 lead.
It was a great counter attack that separates the two teams, with Karim Adeyemi being too quick for Enzo Fernandez and too sharp for Kepa, as he rounded the Spaniard and slotted it home with aplomb.

Disappointing for Chelsea
Chelsea will be disappointed with a 1-0 loss away in Dortmund tonight, as they could so easily have scored not just one, but a couple of goals.
Kalidou Koulibaly had a shot cleared off the line by Emre Can, and Joao Felix hit a curling effort over the bar before Enzo Fernandez was sensationally stopped by Gregor Kobel at the death.
There were some bright sparks for The Blues, as Mykhailo Mudryk looked exciting and Thiago Silva was solid as ever.
Ultimately, they lost this one because they were missing that natural finisher, that Erling Haaland.
It is still on a knife-edge for the return leg at Stamford Bridge, and Chelsea are far from out of this one.
Perfectly poised, some would say…
