Chelsea 3-1 Sporting Lisbon

Normal service has been resumed. Four days after their first defeat in eight months and Chelsea delivered a nerveless return to form. They have completed the group phase with 17 goals - more than any other team - and Jose Mourinho declared the Champions League starts here, with the �sharks in the ocean�. It was just the response he hoped for after losing at Newcastle United on Saturday. His team were in control early thanks to a Cesc Fabregas penalty and Andre Schurrle�s first goal since September.
