Chelsea have become the first side to book a spot in the UEFA Champions League knockout round after defeating Rennes 2-1 on Tuesday evening.
Hakim Ziyech was left on the bench as Callum Hudson-Odoi was given the nod in attack alongside Timo Werner.
The decision by Frank Lampard to start Hudson-Odoi paid off, as the English winger got the opening goal on 22 minutes.
Chelsea were unable to add to their advantage and they were made to pay in the 85th minute when Serhou Guirassy rose above his marker to head past Edouard Mendy.
However, the Blues secured the winning goal four minutes later as second-half substitute Olivier Giroud showed great alertness to score with a towering header.
