Olivier Giroud's majestic injury-time header booked Chelsea's place in the knockout stages of the Champions League as they beat Rennes 2-1
Callum Hudson-Odoi gave Chelsea a first-half lead (21) and it looked like Frank Lampard's side would rue some wayward finishing when Serhou Guirassy headed home unmarked from a corner (85)
Both teams looked happy with a draw but Giroud - who has aired concerns over a lack of game-time at the club - came off the bench to bravely head home (90) after Timo Werner was denied
The result, helped by Sevilla's win in Krasnodar, means the Blues and the Spanish side are guaranteed to finish in the top two of Group E, ahead of their showdown on December 2
After dispatching Rennes 3-0 in the corresponding fixture at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea looked in confident mood following their recent run of results
Hudson-Odoi broke free on the right after just five minutes and put one on a plate for Werner from six yards out
 However, the German somehow managed to sky the effort over the crossbar to leave his team-mates opened mouth in shock
Hudson-Odoi showed Werner how it should be done midway through the half, latching onto a brilliant bit of play from Mason Mount
 The midfielder won the ball back deep inside his own half and pinged a fantastic 60-yard ball that Hudson-Odoi took in his stride and finished under the body of Alfred Gomis
Ben Chilwell was causing problems for Rennes with his aggressive runs from full-back and Mount really should have doubled the lead after a Chilwell pull-back but was denied by a superb reflex stop from Gomis
After being second best, that stop kicked Rennes into gear with Guirassy having more of an impact through the middle
 James Lea Siliki had the chance to test his former team-mate Edouard Mendy when a fantastic chance dropped to him 15 yards out but his panicked effort blazed over the crossbar
Werner had the ball in the net almost instantly after the restart but his header was rightly chalked off as he strayed half a yard offside
Chelsea took their foot off the gas as the second half wore on with the French side growing in confidence and giving Mendy more to think about
 The goalkeeper looked set to collect his eighth clean sheet in 10 Chelsea appearances when blocking a Gerzino Nyamsi header from a right-wing corner with 10 minutes to play
However, Chelsea's inability to mark their men consistently from set-pieces was punished when Guirassy powered home a thumping header after Thiago Silva was caught under the ball
With Krasnodar failing to pick up maximum points, Chelsea didn't need to find a winner to assure qualification but winning has become a habit for Lampard's side and Giroud popped up with a last-gasp moment of brilliance
Werner raced through on goal but couldn't find a finish past Gomis - the chance looked lost but out of nowhere Giroud rose elegantly and powerfully above his marker to bullet a difficult header into the net
A classic example of how strength in depth within a squad can add extra motivation for players like Hudson-Odoi, who has been criticised for his inconsistency in the past
Of course, it's easy to forget he's only just turned 20-years-old but when playing for a club like Chelsea, you have to learn quickly in terms of performing to a high-level on a weekly basis
 Hudson-Odoi has given Lampard a selection headache after this performance where he took his goal with great class and skill and was unlucky not to grab a fantastic assist when Werner blazed over early on
Hudson-Odoi certainly has a knack for the European occasion
 Since his first European appearance for Chelsea in October 2018, he has netted six goals in European competition, a haul bettered only by Giroud for the Blues in that time (12)
: "I have a problem because I've got Tammy who is playing well and obviously he did last year as well
"Oli who always contributes in that way with that professionalism
 I have two players in a similar position fighting for a place
"That's a good problem
 Oli will get his minutes because we have a busy schedule we play every few days
 I made a few changes today because I felt he had to to get the freshness in the team
 'I think the reason you see such a reaction around the goal, not only was it in the last minute but someone like Oli you see how he acts day in day out and it shows you what he means to this team
