Chelsea will have to overcome a three goals deficit to stay in the UEFA Champions League after losing 5-2 at holders Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of their last-16 tie.
In what was a thrilling affair, Bradley Barcola gave PSG an early lead at the Parc Des Princes, but Chelsea responded with an equalizer from Malo Gusto.
The Blues were on five verge of taking the lead but Palmer saw his shot saved, and this led to a counter attack that was well finished by Ousmane Dembélé.

Vitinha capitalized on an error from Chelsea goalkeeper Filip Jørgensen to put PSG ahead for the third time on the night in the 74th minute.
And substitute Khvicha Kvaratskhelia then added two more, including a sensational first goal, in the dying minutes to put PSG firmly in control ahead of the second leg at Chelsea next week.
