Chelsea 3-3 Roma: Eden Hazard header rescues point for hosts

FWS - Eden Hazard scored his first two goals of the season, but Chelsea were still held to a 3-3 draw by Roma in the Champions League on Wednesday night.

Chelsea appeared to be cruising towards a comfortable win after strikes from David Luiz and Hazard, only for Aleksandar Kolarov to pull a goal back for Roma five minutes before half-time.

The visitors continued their fightback in the second period as two Edin Dzeko efforts - the second reminiscent of Marco van Basten's famous volley for the Netherlands at Euro 88 - put them in front.

However, Hazard was on hand to rescue a point for the hosts after heading in Pedro's cross 15 minutes from a time, a draw that keeps Chelsea top of Group C at the halfway stage.
