No fuss as Chelsea move forward

Chelsea secured their place in the last eight of the Champions League after a draw against Copenhagen.

London - Chelsea moved into the last eight of the Champions League with a minimum of fuss on Wednesday when they drew 0-0 at home with a battling FC Copenhagen to complete a 2-0 aggregate victory.

The Londoners, bidding to make the semifinals for the sixth time in eight years, completed a hat-trick of successes for Premier League clubs as they join Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United in Friday's quarterfinal draw.

Chelsea, in command of the tie following Nicolas Anelka's two goals in the first leg, created a dozen half-chances but their finishing lacked precision and visiting keeper Johan Wiland was forced into only regulation saves.

Copenhagen, 20 points clear at the top of their domestic league and the first Danish side to make the knockout stage of the Champions League, went close in the first half when Dame N'Doye curled a superb free kick against a post with Petr Cech beaten but spent most of the night defending. - Reuters
