Giroud delivered left-foot, right-foot and headed finishes for the perfect treble - and then whipped a spot-kick into the top corner for good measure.

Chelsea will host Krasnodar at Stamford Bridge next week, but sealed top spot with their win in Spain, and a potentially easier tie in the last-16.

Giroud put the squeeze on Blues boss Frank Lampard to hand the France striker a Premier League start against Leeds on Saturday, once again proving his clinical credentials.

The 34-year-old's added-time header dug Chelsea out of a hole in Rennes last week, with the Blues snatching a 2-1 win at the death in France.

Lampard says the levels will go up in the knockout stages of the Champions League, but he feels we are in a different place this season compared to last. The boss is thrilled we have qualified in first place with a game to spare. #SEVCHE
