The game gets back under way, with the initial stoppage-time period already played, but Chilwell is still stranded on the touchline. He then has to be helped hobble towards the far side of the pitch. That's a sad end to a fine game for the Chelsea defender.
90'
With a dipping free-kick from around 20 yards out, Mount drifts his attempt wide of the left-hand post.
89'
D. Špikić enters the game and replaces M. Oršić.
S. Moharrami gets yellow.
For clipping the heels of Gallagher in midfield, the weary Moharrami receives a yellow card.
Star striker Orsic now takes his leave, with Spikic given a brief run-out in his place.
88'
Despite their substitutions, Dinamo look a tired team now, and they can't help but be deflated by how events have turned out. They had some hope in the early minutes, but it's been a struggle since then.
86'
An inviting cross from the left by the highly effective Chilwell finds Thiago Silva virtually unmarked in the centre, but the veteran defender can't untangle his legs and makes little meaningful contact with the ball. That was a good chance to secure all three points.
83'
M. Bulat enters the game and replaces A. Ademi.
J. Drmić enters the game and replaces B. Petković.
C. Pulišić enters the game and replaces R. Sterling.
A last throw of the dice by Cacic sees a double Dinamo change. First, skipper Ademi is replaced by young Bulat in midfield.
After opening the scoring at Stamford Bridge, Petkovic's influence has waned. He makes way for Swiss striker Drmic.
Scorer of Chelsea's equaliser today, Sterling makes way in the closing stages; Pulisic is on for a brief cameo.
81'
With a sliver of space opening up in front of him, Gallagher lines up a low shot from the left side of the box, which is deflected a foot or two wide of the right-hand post. That's another corner for Chelsea - their eighth overall, and seventh of the second half.
78'
Dinamo seem resigned to their fate now, as their brief spell of resistance at the start of the second half has faded badly over the past 20 minutes. A European exit surely awaits.
73'
After a last-ditch block by Sutalo concedes a corner, Chilwell's inswinging cross from the set-piece is headed well over the crossbar by Thiago Silva, who rises highest inside the penalty area.
Minute
Description
71'
R. Loftus-Cheek enters the game and replaces D. Zakaria.
After scoring on his Champions League debut for Chelsea, Zakaria has now picked up an apparently minor injury and can't continue. Therefore, Loftus-Cheek is brought on as his replacement.
69'
M. Emreli enters the game and replaces S. Ristovski.
Cacic makes an attacking change, as Ristovski is withdrawn for Emreli.
67'
Despite Dinamo's need to find an equaliser, they simply can't retrieve the ball, as Chelsea are back in dominant mode. It's all being played around the central third of the pitch, though.
65'
Thiago Silva enters the game and replaces K. Koulibaly.
A. Broja enters the game and replaces P. Aubameyang.
Finally, Koulibaly steps aside for Thiago Silva in central defence.
64'
C. Gallagher enters the game and replaces K. Havertz.
Potter decides to make a triple substitution, with an important weekend fixture perhaps in mind. First, the impressive Havertz makes way for Gallagher.
Broja replaces Aubameyang up front.
62'
Chilwell is involved again, as from his near-permanent position on the left side of Dinamo's area, he almost picks out Aubameyang's sprint into the centre. However, the ball zips just past the Gabon international's outstreched boot.
61'
From a tight angle on the left side of the box, Chilwell steers a low drive into the side-netting, with Livakovic anxiously scrambling across to cover his near post.
60'
With nothing left to lose, Dinamo are now having a real run at finding an equaliser. A determined dribble by Orsic sees him evade two blue-shirted defenders on the left, but when he releases the ball for strike partner Petkovic, the latter stumbles on it and loses the chance to strike.
58'
Livakovic makes a routine save low down in the centre of his goal, after Azpilicueta crosses from the right for Havertz to guide a header at goal from near the penalty spot. A decent effort, but it lacked a little in both power and direction.
55'
Chilwell's run down the left ends with a cross being blocked just inside the box, then, when the ball breaks to Aubameyang, the Chelsea striker skews his shot from a tight angle way off target.
54'
L. Ivanušec gets yellow.
A blatant rugby-style tackle on Zakaria's waist sees Ivanusec's name taken by the referee; he's the latest man booked.
51'
Ljubicic is penalised for tugging back Azpilicueta after gifting the Chelsea captain the ball. Then, from the free-kick, Sterling wins a corner on the right following Peric's block. Dinamo just about clear their lines from the cross.
47'
As of half-time, Chelsea will win Group E by three points from Milan, while Dinamo would finish rock-bottom if they can't turn things around in London.
46'
Chelsea kick off, and we are back under way at Stamford Bridge!
45' +2
HALF-TIME: CHELSEA 2-1 DINAMO ZAGREB
45'
Having faded following their fast start, Dinamo are now creeping back into the game, and they earn another corner as the fourth official indicates just one stoppage-time minute is to be played.
43'
Positioned midway inside Chelsea's half, on the right, Ristovski floats a lofted ball towards the back post, which Azpilicueta rather cautiously opts to turn behind without letting it bounce in the box. That turns out to be a decent decision, as Dinamo fail to make anything of the consequent corner.
41'
A series of free-kicks continue to break up play in a disjointed phase of the game, and it seems Chelsea are happy to conserve energy now and retain possession until half-time.
39'
K. Koulibaly gets yellow.
A terribly mistimed challenge by Koulibaly on Petkovic sends the latter crashing to the turf; deservedly the Chelsea centre-back is then booked.
36'
With the home side now approaching their fluent best, Dinamo are left chasing shadows at times. That's no good to them, as they must win to have any chance of finishing third in Group E and staying in Europe.
34'
Dinamo really are ailing now, as they find themselves totally on the back foot. Surely all they can hope for is to hold out until half-time and then regroup ahead of the second half.
30'
D. Zakaria has scored a goal for Chelsea!
CHELSEA GO IN FRONT! Forgotten man Zakaria pops up on the edge of the area and applies the finish to a smart Chelsea move with a low shot that just trickles over the line despite the best efforts of Moharrami. Havertz was instrumental in the build-up, and the German's pull-back from the touchline was deflected right into Zakaria's path - it's now 2-1 to the hosts!
27'
With little chance of winning the ball fairly, Ristovski takes a hack at Jorginho in midfield, and is perhaps fortunate to avoid a booking - only a free-kick is awarded.
25'
Following an inswinging corner from the right by Chilwell, a flicked header by Koulibaly glances at least a yard wide of the far post, as Chelsea take the upper hand after their shaky start.
22'
J. Mišić gets yellow.
For flicking a leg out at Mount, who is escaping upfield, Misic is shown the game's first yellow card.
18'
R. Sterling has scored a goal for Chelsea! Assist by P. Aubameyang.
CHELSEA STRIKE BACK! Sterling hauls the hosts level at Stamford Bridge! Jorginho's incisive throughball from midfield finds Aubameyang in the box, before a cute backheel sets up Sterling, who sidesteps a challenge and coolly slots the ball into the bottom-left corner! It's now 1-1, and all to play for!
Latching on to Jorginho's perceptive pass, Aubameyang flicks the ball back towards Sterling, who applies the finishing touch to Chelsea's opening goal.
16'
A swinging cross from the left by Havertz picks out a clever run by Sterling towards the back post, but under little pressure, the Chelsea forward can only shin a volleyed effort wide of the target from around 10 yards out.
12'
Chelsea have yet to muster a coherent response to going behind, and it appears that they are not quite tuned into this game. That's perhaps understandable with little to play for and some important matches visible on the near horizon.
10'
Kouilbaly has been assessed by the medics and is passed fit to continue for now; he rejoins the hosts' back four.
7'
B. Petković has scored a goal for Dinamo Zagreb!
DINAMO LEAD! With their first attack of the match, the Croatian champions strike! Capitalising on a lack of urgency in the Chelsea defence, Moharrami stands up a cross from the right flank to the far post, which is headed back into the path of Petkovic, who simply nods the ball past Mendy from close range and into the back of the net! 1-0 to Dinamo Zagreb!
5'
In line with most pre-match expectations, Chelsea are dominating the ball in the early stages, though their visitors look fairly comfortable in a tight defensive shape.
3'
After a sliding challenge on Azpilicueta, out on the left flank, Peric comes off worse and is writhing around in agony on the soaking wet turf. Fortunately, the action is not delayed for long and the Dinamo defender can continue.
1'
Dinamo kick off, and we are underway in London!
Hello and welcome to live coverage of today's Champions League Group E clash between Chelsea and Dinamo Zagreb at Stamford Bridge!
Already assured of top spot in Group E before today's final fixture, Chelsea have recovered from a sluggish start in Europe to win each of their last three games; scoring seven times and conceding just once in the process. After back-to-back victories over Italian champions Milan, Graham Potter's side secured their place in the knockout rounds with a 2-1 success against Salzburg last week. Following his failure against former club Brighton last weekend, Potter will be keen to restore the winning habit before tackling Premier League leaders Arsenal on Sunday.
Though they can no longer qualify for the last 16, Dinamo Zagreb are still in with a chance of snatching a back-door route to the Europa League - but only if they upset Chelsea and Milan beat Salzburg. It is, however, 24 years since the Croatian champions last won an away game in the Champions League, and they have picked up just one point since beating the Blues on Group E's opening matchday. That run includes a crushing 4-0 home loss to Milan eight days ago.
CHELSEA (3-4-2-1): Edouard Mendy; Cesar Azpilicueta, Kalidou Koulibaly, Trevoh Chalobah; Raheem Sterling, Denis Zakaria, Jorginho, Ben Chilwell; Mason Mount, Kai Havertz; Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
SUBS: Marcus Bettinelli, Christian Pulisic, Marc Cucurella, Thiago Silva, Conor Gallagher, Armando Broja, Hakim Ziyech, Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
DINAMO ZAGREB (3-5-2): Dominik Livakovic; Dino Peric, Stefan Ristovski, Josip Sutalo; Sadegh Moharrami, Josip Misic, Luka Ivanusec, Arijan Ademi, Robert Ljubicic; Mislav Orsic, Bruno Petkovic.
SUBS: Ivan Nevistic, Josip Drmic, Rasmus Lauritsen, Kevin Theophile-Catherine, Martin Baturina, Luka Menalo, Antonio Marin, Mahir Emreli, Petar Bockaj, Marko Bulat, Daniel Stefulj, Dario Spikic.
The players are out on the pitch at Stamford Bridge, and with the Champions League anthem echoing around the ground, kick-off is now just moments away!
While Chelsea have won all three of their previous Champions League games this term when leading at the interval, Dinamo have been beaten twice in the two matches when they've gone down the tunnel behind at the break. That does not bode well for the Croatian champions, who have a mountain to climb during the second half.
That's all from Stamford Bridge today, so thank you for joining us and goodbye!
While Dinamo are now out of Europe entirely, they must concentrate solely on the latest defence of their domestic title. Chelsea, meanwhile, are set for a high-stakes London derby against Arsenal at the weekend, then await the Champions League's knockout stage draw.
