Chelsea managed to escape the match against AS Roma with a point, thanks to a brace from Eden Hazard to match Edin Dzeko’s tally for the match.
Chelsea came into the match looking to put some daylight between them and the chasing pack in Group C of the UEFA Champions League. But, they somehow managed to escape the night with a point after the onslaught from AS Roma.
The former Manchester City duo of Aleksandar Kolarov and Edin Dzeko provided the goals for the visitors while David Luiz opened the scoring in the match. But, it was Eden Hazard who stole the show with a brace and a brilliant display overall on Wednesday.
And the Blues fans could not hide their emotions from erupting onto their social accounts on Twitter.

I’m lost for words, Hazard doing Bakayoko, Fabregas and Morata their jobs all in 1 today. Best player ever by far.

Hazard is still only 70% fit and scored 2 goals today. Scary.

If it wasn’t that obvious already it really is Hazard FC.

However, Conte was in for some choice words after his substitutions left fans fuming.
Conte’s substitutions are so weird. Your team needs a goal & you take off the best player on the pitch.

Conte talks a lot about solutions, but he might need exam solutions. What calculation has 6 defenders on the pitch = 3 goals conceded?

Taking Hazard off for Willian. Cahill starting again. Rudiger not starting against his old club. Conte trying to get that severance package?

If anyone at Chelsea knows all about every forward and player at Roma, it’s Rudiger.
Conte starts Cahill instead….— CarefreeDaily ? (@CarefreeDaily) October 18, 2017
Chelsea haven’t won any of their last 3 games
Willian brought on for Hazard who was our best player
Conte if your hearts not in it leave

Roman should sack Conte…I can’t again??

Conte did great to steady the ship in 2016 but he’s taking us nowhere. The club must search for a project manager as soon as possible.

Started the game with 6 defenders.
Set us up defensively.
Still conceded 3.
Impotent in attack.Surely, Conte is responsible?

This is on Conte.

Hate to say this but this is entirely on Conte. Ridiculously poor setup.
