CHELSEA rued their missed chances as Borussia Dortmund drew first blood in the Champions League.
Karim Adeyemi scored the only goal of the game as the hosts won the first leg of their last-16 tie against Todd Boehly’s £600million side.

Both sides looked to hit each other on the counter in a lively game in Germany.
Chelsea fluffed several opportunities in the first half, with Joao Felix hitting the bar.
And the wasted hits came back to haunt the visitors when Adeyemi used his electric pace to score in the 63rd minute.
Chelsea now face an uphill battle to turn the game around at Stamford Bridge.
Potter is unable to call upon new stars including Noni Madueke and Benoit Badiashile.
Replacements Hakim Ziyech and Kalidou Koulibaly were particularly uninspiring.
And the decision to axe Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will also come under scrutiny, with Kai Havertz lacking cutting edge again.
