LONDON, March 8 — Chelsea reached the Champions League quarter-finalsas a first-half goal from Raheem Sterling and a controversial penalty by Kai Havertz overturned a first-leg deficit yesterday and propelled them to a 2-1 aggregate win over Borussia Dortmund.
Portugal loanee Joao Felix and defender Kalidou Koulibaly also went close and Sterling had efforts blocked.Sterling airkicked his first effort, then sidestepped Marco Reus and sent his second high into the net to put the teams level on aggregate. Early in the second half a Chilwell cross smacked into the outstretched hand of defender Marius Wolf and Dutch referee Danny Makkelie gave the penalty after being called to the VAR screen.Havertz, taking over as penalty taker from Jorginho who moved to Arsenal in January, hit the keeper’s left-hand post to the relief of the visitors.
Havertz retook the kick and sent the ball the same way but this time it squeezed inside the post to put Chelsea ahead in the tie in the 53rd minute.
