Napoli Winning 3-1 in first leg Champions League round of 16 at the San Paolo two weeks ago is not to avail. Chelsea look spartan to get rid vice-Italian with a convincing victory 4-1 (aggregate 5-4) at Stamford Bridge on Thursday (15/3) early morning hrs.
The Blues in front with Didier Drogba in the first round and John Terry doubled the lead early in the restart. Gokhan Inler scored in the 55th minute Partenopei had opened up, but then Frank Lampard penalty continues to force the match into extra time. Branislav Ivanovic became a hero thanks to his goal in the first round of 2 x 15 minute sessions.
Thus, the Blues have the right pitch to the last eight while Partenopei must continue to focus on the Serie A Italy. Chelsea victory to save face England at least as well with almost no representatives in the quarter-finals.
Armed with consecutive wins in the FA Cup and Premier League, Chelsea full of confidence after kick-off. Sturridge got the first chance when releasing a volley from the penalty area, but Morgan De Sanctis with alacrity to save the goal.
