Roma 3-0 Chelsea, LIVE: Diego Perotti adds gloss for the hosts after Stephen El Shaarawy's first-half brace
3-3 at Stamford Bridge. 3-0 in Rome. It was all very easy for Roma. Chelsea were badly organised in defence and weren't good enough with the ball in central midfield. Conte has a lot to think about ahead of the game against Manchester United on Sunday.
89min: Credit to Hazard. He hasn't given up all match. His latest contribution is to sprint down the left wing but there is no Chelsea running into the Roma area to try and get close to his cross that was cut out at the near post.
86min: Final change for Roma. Pellegrini comes on for Perotta. That should just help break up what has been an utterly drab last 20 minutes of football.
82min: That just about sums it up. Hazard shoots from outside the Roma box but his left-footed effort really was poor. It was so weak that it barely makes it out of play for a goal kick. Toothless.
79min: Courtois produces a brilliant save to deny a Manolas header after a superb ball in from the right by Nainggolan. Roma have sensed just how much Chelsea have switched off and want more goals here.
75min: Chelsea seem to have given up hope of
getting back into this. Attention has probably already turned to the
game against Manchester United on Sunday.
Meanwhile, El Shaarawy is replaced by Gerson, while Florenzi comes on for Manolas. Conte also makes his final change. Batshuayi is on for Morata.

70min: Drinkwater replaces Fabregas but it's unlikely to make much of a difference given how well Roma have ran the midfield tonight.
68min: It should be 4-0. The shape of
Chelsea's defence is figured yet again by Roma who charged forward in
numbers before Perotti is found in space in the Chelsea box but his
right-footed effort goes over the bar.
