Chelsea were all over the place in their 3-0 defeat to Roma in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

The reigning Premier League champions were never really in the game , falling a goal down in the first minute to a Stephan El Shaarawy strike, and then shipping further goals either side of half-time to El Shaarawy again and then Diego Perotti.

But arguably the Blues' worst moment of the match didn't result in them conceding a goal.

They all catch up to him, but none of them seem able to stop

Roma were already 3-0 up when Edin Dzeko raced onto a ball over the top, and incredibly all three of the Blues' centre-backs - Antonio Rudiger, David Luiz and Cesar Azpilicueta - chased after him, only to all be easily turned by the Bosnian.
