Nigeria's John Obi Mikel on Tuesday gave Chelsea a better chance of qualifying for the next round of the UEFA Champions League.

PSG defeated Chelsea 2 - 1 in France in an exciting encounter, with the Nigerian's foul and deflection helping Ibrahimovic put PSG in front. He however made amends after controlling a corner kick and then hitting it into the net, sending twitter agog.

Although Cavani made it 2 - 1 in the later stages of the match, Mikel's goal put Chelsea at an advantage going into the second leg with an important away goal.

The last time the two teams met, PSG knocked Chelsea out based on away goals and Mikel's goal might just prove to be very important later on.

In the other game of the night, Benfica defeated Zenith St. Petersburg by a lone goal in Portugal.
