Chelsea needed an away win to seal the top spot of their UCL group, and they managed to do that with a massive performance by Olivier Giroud.
The Frenchman was able to lead the Blues to an emphatic 4-0 win over Sevilla, and even if there were eleven men on the pitch, Giroud's four-goal display was everything Chelsea needed to take the three points home.
Giroud found the back of the net for the first time in this game before the first ten minutes, but the real show came in the second half, when he scored three more times to give Chelsea a comfortable lead.
Moreover, Giroud managed to set a record in the continental competition since its known as UEFA Champions League.

In fact, no player had been able to score four goals in a single UEFA CL match. Who was the last one?
Olivier Giroud is the first player to score four goals in a single Champions League match since Cristiano Ronaldo did so for Real Madrid against Malmo in December 2015. #CFC pic.twitter.com/2tco7hdL6m
