Eden Hazard scored twice as Chelsea blew a two-goal lead before salvaging a 3-3 draw against Roma at Stamford Bridge this evening.
The Blues opened the scoring in the 11th minute when David Luiz curled home a lovely effort from the edge of the area before Hazard finished off a superb move to make it 2-0 in the 37th minute.
Roma pulled one back just minutes later as Alexandre Kolarov smashed home a thunderous strike from the left side of the box to make it 2-1 at half-time.
The visitors levelled things up in the 64th minute when Eden Dzeko lashed home a stunning left-footed volley before the striker glanced home a header just minutes later to put Roma ahead at 3-2.
However, Hazard came to Chelsea’s rescue as the Belgian international headed home the equaliser in the 75th minute to make it 3-3 and salvage a valuable point for the Blues.
It means Chelsea remain top of Group C – two points above Roma and five clear of Atletico Madrid – so Antonio Conte’s side are still well placed to progress to the knockout stages.
