UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

Eden Hazard rescued Chelsea’s unbeaten start to the UEFA Champions League group stage after a dominant Roma had fought back from two goals down to lead in a pulsating game at Stamford Bridge last night.

Hazard scored in each half, heading in to level from Pedro’s cross with 15 minutes to go to keep the Blues top of Group C.

The Belgium forward had given Chelsea a two-goal lead in the first half after David Luiz scored a wonderful opener.
But the Serie A side fought back, with Aleksandar Kolarov scoring before Edin Dzeko netted twice in six minutes.
The striker’s first was a sensational volley, and Dzeko then combined with fellow former Manchester City man Kolarov to head in and put the visitors in front.

That lead lasted just five minutes as Hazard levelled to keep Chelsea’s two-point lead intact, with Atletico Madrid held to a goalless draw by FK Qarabag in the other Group C game.
RESULTS
Benfica 0-1 Man Utd
CSKA 0-2 Basel
Anderlecht 0-4 PSG
Bayern 3-0 Celtic
Qarabag 0-0 Atletico
Chelsea 3-3 Roma
Barca 3-1 Olympiacos
Juventus 2-1 Sporting
