Watch: Last-second golazo stuns Chelsea, gives Juve 1st in Group H
Chelsea were seconds away from clinching top spot in Group H with a comeback victory over Zenit St. Petersburg on Wednesday, but Magomed Ozdoev had other ideas.
The Russian midfielder unleashed a stunning strike in the 94th minute to earn his side a frantic 3-3 draw at the Gazprom Arena in their group finale.
That result, coupled with Juventus’ 1-0 win over Malmo in the concurrent group fixture, means the Bianconeri leapfrog the reigning champions and finish first in the quarter ahead of Monday’s last-16 draw.

Chelsea had overturned a 2-1 halftime deficit to lead 3-2 in the waning minutes, but couldn’t hold on for a win that would have assured the reigning champions of top spot in the group.
