Chelsea and Roma served up a rip-roaring 3-3 draw at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday as both clubs stayed firmly on course for a place in the last 16 of the Champions League.

Edin Dzeko scored twice for Roma as the Italians stormed back from 2-0 down to lead 3-2 with 20 minutes remaining, only for Eden Hazard to salvage a point for Group C leaders Chelsea.

David Luizโ€™s curler put Chelsea ahead in the 11th minute and Hazard doubled the home sideโ€™s advantage in the 35th.

Aleksandar Kolarov fired Roma back into contention before the interval and Dzekoโ€™s double in the space of six minutes, the first a scorching volley, looked to have earned Roma only their second win in 16 attempts on English soil.

Hazardโ€™s equaliser kept Chelsea top with seven points from three games with Roma on five โ€“ three ahead of Atletico Madrid.
