Cucurella keeps push to rejoin Euro elite alive on nervy night

- By John Cross

MAKING A MARC

IT WILL go right to the wire, but Chelsea have their Champions League fate back in their own hands after a topsy turvy night at Stamford Bridge.

Marc Cucurella was the unlikely hero with a 71st-minute winner to push Chelsea back up to fourth and to leave European qualification on a knife edge.

It was Cucurella's fifth goal of the season and yet this could be his most precious of all with a prize of playing on Europe's biggest stage at stake.

They have to go to Nottingham Forest on the final day knowing that victory will put them in next season's Champions League.

It was a roller-coaster because Chelsea look like a bag of nerves and struggled to break down Manchester United's stubborn resistance. United, of course, still have the Europa League final and a passport into the Champions League if they can beat Tottenham in Bilbao in five days.
