Juventus hammer Chelsea

Juventus' Fabio Quagliarella (C, hidden) is surrounded by his teammates after scoring against Chelsea

Title holders Chelsea are on the brink of an unprecedented group stage exit in the Champions League after being overpowered 3-0 by Juventus this evening.

Fabio Quagliarella broke the deadlock with a fortuitous goal seven minutes before halftime and Arturo Vidal capped another dynamic performance by side-footing the second just after the hour thanks to another deflection. Sebastian Giovinco struck in stoppage time.

With Shakhtar Donetsk qualifying with a 5-2 win at Nordsjaelland in the other Group E match, Juventus need only a point to go through when they visit the Ukrainian champions in their final game next month.

Chelsea's only hope is to beat Nordsjaelland and hope Shakhtar defeat the Serie A champions, otherwise they will become the first defending champions to go out in the group stage since the Champions League began.
