Timo Werner and Mason Mount netted to Chelsea their place in the Champions League final in Istanbul.
Both sides made a tentative start to the second leg but Chelsea had a goal chalked off in the 18th minute. Ben Chilwell put it on a plate for Timo Werner who found the net, but he had just strayed offside.
Karim Benzema forced Edouard Mendy into a fine save just before the hosts took the lead in the 28th minute.
OPINION: Roma an ideal host for the Mourinho Show – not a compliment
Kai Havertz dinked the ball over Thibaut Courtois but his effort bounced back off the crossbar. Werner was on hand to head it into an empty net from close range.
Havertz hit the bar again shortly after the restart. His header looked to be top corner bound but it struck the woodwork. Chance after chance went begging for Chelsea in the second half until they eventually got their second in the 84th minute.
Mason Mount smashed the ball home from inside the penalty area after being set up by Christian Pulisic. Thomas Tuchel’s side advance and they will face Manchester City in the Champions League final.
