Substitute Emerson made sure of the victory with a 94th-minute strike for Chelsea`s second goal.

Atletico were left to rue referee Daniele Orsato`s decision not to give a penalty when, with the score at 0-0, Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta underhit a back pass and put his arm around Yannick Carrasco who went down in the box.

The visitors finished the game with 10 men after Stefan Savic was shown a red card in the 82nd minute for elbowing Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger in the chest at a corner.
