Chelsea to face Dynamo Kiev in Europa League last 16

Chelsea will face Dynamo Kiev across two legs in the Europa League last 16 after cruising past Malmo on Thursday night.

The 2012-13 winners beat the Swedish side 5-1 on aggregate after a 3-0 victory at Stamford Bridge

Goals from Callum Hudson-Odoi, Olivier Giroud and Ross Barkley sealed the win as Maurizio Sarri's men moved a step closer to May's final in Baku.

It means Sarri's men remain in the hunt for two trophies and a top four Premier League finish this term despite uncertainty over the Italian's Stamford Bridge future.

The Europa League comes with the added incentive of a Champions League berth for the overall winners and the Chelsea boss will see that as a fall-back plan should his side fail to finish inside the Premier League top four.

Last 16 ties will be playes on March 7 and March 14, ahead of the quarter-final and semi-final draw on March 15.
