Chelsea continued their resurgence under Maurizio Sarri by putting one foot in the quarter-finals of the Europa League with a dominant win over Dynamo Kyiv.
Sarri's side made it three wins in nine days thanks to goals from Pedro, Willian and substitute Callum Hudson-Odoi, but should be taking a far greater aggregate lead to Ukraine for next week's return match.
The Blues squandered a host of chances in the first leg of the last-16 tie as Dynamo goalkeeper Denys Boyko produced an inspired display, while Pedro had a strong penalty appeal turned down.
It was Chelsea's third successive win since their Carabao Cup final defeat by Manchester City, and midfielder Pedro urged his team to continue that form until the end of the season.
He said: "It's good for all the players, for the team, also for the supporters and this is the way, continue until the end.
"For us now, every game is a final and this is the way."
