After scoring what might be the goal of the tournament, Edin Dzeko put Roma on his back when his header gave the Italian side the lead against Chelsea on Wednesday.

The former Manchester City forward brought Roma level at Stamford Bridge with a sensational volley over Thibaut Courtois after getting on the end of Federico Fazio's perfect lob into the box.

His second wasn't quite as eye-catching, but it had the away support jumping when he delivered a header into the far corner of goal to give the Giallorossi a 3-2 lead.

The advantage didn't last long, as Eden Hazard scored a crucial goal to level the score.

Dzeko was the second former City player to score against the Blues on Wednesday after Aleksandar Kolarov netted Roma's first goal of the encounter.
