Chelsea defence falters, Edin Dzeko stars as Blues and Roma share six-goal thriller

LONDON -- Three quick thoughts from Stamford Bridge on Chelsea's 3-3 draw with Roma in the UEFA Champions League.

1. Chelsea and Roma share six-goal thriller

Champions League group games can be rather staid affairs, the inconsequentiality of many rendering them box-ticking exercises. That was quite emphatically not the case at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday, when Chelsea and Roma drew a pulsating game 3-3 in which both teams held the lead and threw it away.

Chelsea were 2-0 up through David Luiz and Eden Hazard, but Roma stormed back to go ahead thanks to former Manchester City pair Aleksandar Kolarov and Edin Dzeko.
