Blues and Reds in Champions glory

Chelsea have made it to the last 16 of the Champions League with a 2-1 win against Romanian champions Cluj.

Salomon Kalou got the opener for Chelsea six minutes before the break at Stamford Bridge, but Yssouf Kone soon headed home an equalizer.

It was left to substitute Didier Drogba to net the winner, and help Chelsea finish second in Group A behind Roma.

Elsewhere, Liverpool also had a good night, coming from behind to beat PSV Eindhoven 3-1 to finish top of Group D.

A close range shot from Danko Lazovic gave PSV the lead to the delight of home fans early on, but the Reds equalized within 10 minutes with a Ryan Babel header.

Albert Riera and David Ngog netted the other two goals after the break.
