WATCH HIGHLIGHTS : CHELSEA FALL TO AS ROMA AS THEY LOSE 3-0 IN CHAMPIONS LEAGUE ENCOUNTER.

Chelsea conceded three and could have shipped a whole lot more in a ghoulish Halloween horror show.


Conte has built his reputation as one of the most admired coaches in Europe on organisation and solid defending, but Chelsea displayed neither as goals from Stephan El Shaarawy and Diego Perotti secured Roma’s victory and prevented the Stamford Bridge side from clinching qualification from Group C. And Conte was as much to blame as his players, who switched off at key moments, as Chelsea’s head coach got his big decisions wrong. He stuck with Antonio Rudiger, who suffered a nightmare return to his former club,
watched Cesc Fabregas and Tiemoue Bakayoko get overrun and was punished for moving Pedro to right- back in the second half.

Stephan El Shaarawy's power strike gave AS Roma the early lead in the Italian capital of Rome on Tuesday night. 

El Shaarawy took just 38 seconds to catch Chelsea and Conte cold. Former Manchester City duo Aleksandar Kolarov and Dzeko, who
both scored in the 3-3 draw at Chelsea, combined and the ball bounced off the striker’s head into the path of El Shaarawy, who smashed it first time past goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois. It was the fastest Champions League goal in Roma’s history and the worst possible start for Chelsea, who were once again missing N’Golo Kante.

This definitely was a night to forget,
but it may take some getting over for
Conte.
