Chelsea moved into the Conference League quarter-finals with a 3-1 aggregate victory over FC Copenhagen after earning a 1-0 win in the second leg despite not having a shot during a dreadful first-half performance at Stamford Bridge.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall struck 10 minutes into the second half after Enzo Maresca had to call upon Cole Palmer and Marc Cucurella to inject some life into his side at half-time.
Chelsea delivered one of their worst performances during the opening period, unable to test the visiting goalkeeper as Copenhagen out-thought and out-fought their hosts leading to some boos from the home fans at the half-time whistle.
But after Palmer and Cucurella were introduced, Dewsbury-Hall skipped through the opposition defence and into the box where he fired confidently into the bottom right corner to ease any nerves.
Palmer, though, was unable to end his goal drought which now stands at 10 games. He went close midway through the second half with a curling shot that went wide of the left post and then had a late shot saved.
Chelsea will play Legia Warsaw or Molde in the quarter-finals on April 10 and 17.
