Manchester United were denied passage into the Champions League knockout phase as Michael Lang's 89th-minute strike snatched a dramatic 1-0 victory for Basel at St. Jakob-Park.
United needed to avoid defeat to reach the last 16 and looked well on course to do that after creating a host of chances in a dominant first-half display.
But Jose Mourinho's men were made to pay for their wastefulness as a spirited second-half display from Basel culminated in Lang converting the winner in the final minute.
Qarabag 0-4 Chelsea:
Blues cruise into Champions League last 16 with easy victory over Quarabag.
Chelsea secured their spot in the last 16 of the Champions League as they cruised to a 4-0 victory against 10-man Qarabag on Wednesday.
The Blues needed to win at the Baku National Stadium to make it into the knockout rounds, and were aided by two penalties and a first-half sending off.
Qarabag captain Rashad Sadygov saw red in the 18th minute after pulling Willian's arm down in the box, before Eden Hazard converted from the spot. The Brazilian then added his own name to the scoresheet in the 36th minute after a well-worked goal from Chelsea.

Paris Saint-Germain 7-1 Celtic: Champions League favourites break group-stage goalscoring record
Paris Saint-Germain recovered from a goal down to secure an emphatic 7-1 victory over Celtic and break a Champions League goalscoring record in the process.
Moussa Dembele had stunned the Parc des Princes with a first-minute opener for Celtic, but Neymar turned the game on its head with two goals (9, 21) for the Group B leaders.
The Brazil international then turned provider as Edinson Cavani tapped in PSG's third, while Kylian Mbappe ensured he would not miss out on the action when firing past Craig Gordon (35).
After the break, PSG scored three goals in five minutes, with Cavani getting his second (79) in between strikes from Marco Verratti (75) and Dani Alves (80).
Juventus 0-0 Barcelona:
Catalans confirm qualification after an engrossing 0-0 draw in Turin on Wednesday night.
Ernesto Valverde left Lionel Messi on the bench as he wanted to see what his team could do without their No 10 leading the attack, but the answer will have underwhelmed the Barcelona coach.
The two teams played out a cagey first half as neither side wanted to give an inch in an intense encounter, which surprisingly lacked quality in the final third.
Barcelona hit the post when Ivan Rakitic's free-kick avoided everyone on its way to clattering the woodwork with the rebound bouncing off Paulinho's head and going wide.
The Brazil international was booked when he threw himself over Miralem Pjanic's leg in the Juventus box as he looked to win a penalty but the referee spotted the blatant dive and cautioned the former Spurs man.
