AS Roma 3 - 0 Chelsea: Roma Demolish Chelsea In Champions League

English Champions, Chelsea became the first English team to lose a Champions League game this season as they were well beaten by a clinical Roma.

The Blues would have progressed with a victory, but trailed within 39 seconds when Edin Dzeko flicked Aleksandar Kolarov’s cross down to Stephan El Shaarawy, who smashed home from 25 yards.

Alvaro Morata missed a huge chance to equalise from close range, and El Shaarawy made it 2-0 when ex-Roma defender Antonio Rudiger failed to deal with Radja Nainggolan’s long ball forward.

Chelsea somehow managed to contrive to miss all their chances , ranging from decent to good to at least one sitter; unfortunately, Roma were guilty of no such wastefulness. Quite the opposite in fact, starting from minute one and then adding to it thanks to sloppy Chelsea plays, giveaways, mistakes.

Chelsea drop to second in the group, one point behind Roma. Atleti only managed a draw , so a win away at Qarabag next time will be enough to qualify for the knockout round.

Chelsea next Premier League game will be Man United at Stamford Bridge, on Sunday, 5 November, Time - 5:30 PM
