Raheem Sterling helped Chelsea take down Borussia Dortmund in their Champions League last-16 tilt, opening the scoring in Tuesday's second leg with a thunderous goal just before the halftime interval.
The English forward, after whiffing on his first attempt, quickly steadied himself before unleashing a ferocious shot into the roof of the net in the 43rd minute. The goal amplified an already raucous Stamford Bridge, and brought the Blues level at one apiece in the tie on aggregate.

A retaken penalty from Kai Havertz after the break ultimately made the difference, as Chelsea reached the quarterfinals courtesy of a 2-1 aggregate victory.
