Morata, Batshuayi help Chelsea topple Atletico to take command of Group C

MADRID -- Three quick thoughts from Chelsea's last-gasp 2-1 win over Atletico Madrid in the Champions League group stage at the Wanda Metropolitano on Wednesday.

1. Batshuayi puts Chelsea in command of Group C

Michy Batshuayi scored with the last kick of the game to put Chelsea in control of Group C and end Atletico Madrid's unbeaten home record against English clubs in the Champions League.

Batshuayi, a late substitute for Alvaro Morata, Chelsea's other goalscorer, scored from close range three minutes into stoppage time to claim a crucial victory for Antonio Conte's team ahead of the double-header against AS Roma on matchday 3 and 4.
