Belgian’s late stunner is enough for Chelsea to make it into the last 16.
Eden Hazard struck late for Chelsea as they were able to avoid extra time against a Sparta Prague side that played above expectations in the second leg of their Europa League tie.
This wonder strike late on was enough to help the Blues move on in the competition, although critics will still be finding arguments against Benitez, especially those asking why it was so hard to break down the Czech side.
It was not easy going for the team either, having given away a sloppy first half goal to allow Sparta back into the game, which will raise questions over Chelsea’s solidity at the back.
