A goal by Gert Verheyen of Bruges, scored with just seven first ten minutes remaining, means that Chelsea face a difficult task in this evening's European Cup Winners' Cup quarter-final, second leg, which is screened live from Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea appeared to have done all the hard work in Bruges two weeks ago when they held out for more than 80 minutes without conceding a goal. But when Verheyen outjumped the Chelsea defence to head home from close range some of that good work had been undone.

That goal, however, sets up the classic situation in European matches, with Chelsea needing at feast two goals to qualify for the semi-finals and Bruges knowing that by scoring again tonight they could ease themselves through on the away goals ruling, it means that although Chelsea must attack they cannot afford to relax in defence.
Chelsea will be hoping that history might repeat itself, in 1971 Chelsea lost in Bruges, won the second leg and then went on to beat the mighty Real Madrid in a replayed final of the European Cup Winners' Cup in Athens. Their manager Glenn Hoddle, who now faces one of the biggest nights in his career as a manager, also has happy memories of a win over the Belgian side when he was playing for the French League team, Monaco.

Tonight's Omnibus follows the Indian character actor Harish Patel, best known to British audiences for his portrayal of Changez in the BBC's Buddha of Suburbia, on a typically hectic day around the studios of Bombay. Patel, who specialises in playing lovable villains - a major character type in the Indian film industry - may be working on as many as three or four films every day.

Omnibus 10.25pm BBC1
Harish Patel is one of the busiest actors in the world. A BBC crew followed him around Bombay for a typical day, during which he shoots scenes for three films, constantly changing costume, donning and doffing false beards and moustaches as he turns from hero to villain. First call is a TV series which looks much like Neighbours, shot in a bungalow that is so frequently selected by producers that viewers recognise the decor. Next are close-ups for a thriller, which is being shot in Hyderabad (Patel was too busy to travel), followed by a lavish musical number.
Ready When You Are, Mr Patel was produced and directed by Kevin Loader and Roger Michell, who cast Patel as Changez in The Buddha of Suburbia, repeated recently on BBC2. Their initial meeting with him is re-created in a fictional flashback section in tonight's film.
