Champions League holders Chelsea finished as Group H runners-up after conceding a stoppage-time equaliser in a pulsating draw at Zenit St Petersburg on Wednesday. Both sides had already booked their last berths while third-placed Zenit will go into the Europa League after the winter break.

Timo Werner fired Chelsea ahead in the second minute with a tap-in from a Ross Barkley corner before Brazilian Claudinho levelled in the 38th with a glancing header. Rattled by the equaliser, Chelsea fell behind three minutes later when Iranian striker Sardar Azmoun beat the offside trap and slotted the ball home after rounding goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga.

Romelu Lukaku hit back in the 62nd minute as he stroked the ball into an empty net after a flowing move and Chelsea seemed to have forced the final twist after Werner struck again in the 85th thanks to good work by substitute Christian Pulisic. The Premier League side were undone, however, by a spectacular equaliser at the death as they failed to clear a cross and late substitute Magomed Ozdoev unleashed an unstoppable volley past Kepa from the edge of the penalty area.

Recap a sour end to an otherwise solid group stage for Chelsea with our match report. Loads more action taking place in the Champions League tonight with Barcelona in need of a win away to Bayern Munich to guarantee their spot in the last - while Manchester United are a goal up over Young Boys.

Thanks for your incredible support tonight, Chelsea fans. Look at this stunning save from Kepa Arrizabalaga! Just as Chelsea were set for a momentum-boosting victory It will be interesting to see how Tuchel reacts after that late suckerpunch. Spoils shared tonight. That is a sickening blow at the death for Chelsea, but you really could not begrudge the home side the draw.

It was the least they deserved after frequently opening Chelsea up. Lovely feet and a decisive strike. A sharply dipping cross to the far-post finds Werner, and he chooses to shoot but his header is weak and easy to claim for the keeper. A lay-off may have been better. Not much of a respite for Chelsea, mind as Russia international Dzyuba comes on in his place. Kerzhakov does well to claim a looping cross from deep.

Kepa has conceded two, but Chelsea would be out of this if not for his heroics. That save from Azmoun was the best of the lot so far, showing his agility and strength of his hand to push the effort away from virtually on the goal-line. Chelsea have been much better this half, but they still need more. As things stand they will finish runner-up and face a very real danger of drawing Bayern or Real in the last Chelsea have been in control since half time and most encouraging about that goal was the intricate play to work the chance.

So often, that is where Chelsea fall flat - but not on this occasion. Zenit are causing problems on the counter of their own, Kepa being forced to parry a Malcom cross-shot clear. A bit of pace, a bit of life, there from Chelsea. It is fascinating to see where this game goes. Chelsea have already shown they can get through this Zenit defence - but, in turn, they look so fragile at the back themselves.

Alonso, Rudiger, Silva, Loftus-Cheek, Havertz, Pulisic and Ziyech are on the bench - although it feels that its effort levels more than personnel that are the problem. Juventus are currently set to go top of Group H and earn that all important seeding for the last James gave the ball away very sloppily and once again the Russians were in behind I said Chelsea could regret not making enough of their chances and so they will.

Zenit are good for this lead. Chelsea are wide open at the back. A Barkley corner is in that near-post danger area they scored from earlier but Zenit deal with it better. All too easy. Zenit steal possession but cannot work their own opening, allowing Lukaku to race clear and chip in a ball for Mount. Kerzhakov is equal to his close-range effort and the hosts escape waht could have been a killer goal. Azmoun heads wide from another quick move, Azpilicueta caught out with a simple ball over the top.

Malcom has the run of Chelsea down the right and yet slows the play right down, opting to cut inside and winning only a corner. Zenit have managed to calm things down after such a torrid start and they needed to. Chelsea looked capable of scoring every time they went forward in the opening moments and they may well look back with regret if Zenit find a way back in to the match.

You have to be adaptable. Aside from the challenge of facing Juve, fatigue - both mental and physical - could also be a factor. We all manage these emotional rollercoaster rides differently and you have to accept that. And also physically everyone is managed differently. This squad has improved by small steps every year since I joined the club four years ago.

We have some amazing players. Some are still here from when I joined, but everyone has improved, and the new additions just brings the extra quality to the squad. We were capable of it last year and we are even more capable of it this year.

We are growing.
