Nigeria's John Obi Mikel has scored his first Champions League goal after helping Chelsea to a 3-1 victory over Sporting Lisbon at Stamford Bridge.
The Super Eagles midfielder latched on to a free-kick, following up header from his teammate, Zouma to guide in the ball for his side's third goal of the night, after Cesc Fabregas and Andre Schurrle had put the Blues in front in the first half.
Mikel was making his 55th appearance in the competition and registered it with a goal, netting his fifth goal in 325 appearances since he joined Chelsea.
Chelsea consolidated on their top spot in the group, and effectively bounced back from last weekend's defeat to Newcastle, where some people even singled out Mikel for blame.
Meanwhile, Manchester City booked their place in the knockout stages of after defeating AS Roma 2-0 in Rome.
Roma wasted the chances they got in the match, with City punishing them when they got their own opportunity.
Two late strikes from Samir Nasri and Pablo Zabaleta made the difference for Manuel Pellegrini's team, helping City overcome the arduous task of qualifying with some of their key players like Sergio Aguero and Yaya Toure all missing the match.
City finished second behind Bayern Munich who topped their group, and the Germans confirmed their superiority with a 3-0 defeat of Ahmed Musa's CSKA Moscow.
Meanwhile, Barcelona had to come from behind to defeat Paris Saint Germain 3-1 at the Nou Camp.
The three musketeers turned up for Barca getting the goal that won them the game.
Lionel Messi continued his fine form for the Catalans,netting the equaliser to cancel out Zlatan Ibrahimovic's goal on his comeback against his former club.
Neymar scored a spectacular second goal to double Barca's lead, before Luis Suarez made it three to cancel any hopes the French team had leveling.
