Thibaut Courtois had no answer to an incredible hit from the former City star, who has been in unstoppable form in Italy this year

A cracking strike from Edin Dzeko dragged Roma back into contention in a thrilling Champions League tie against Chelsea. 

With the Blues leading 2-1 through goals from David Luiz and Eden Hazard, things were looking bleak for the visitors at Stamford Bridge.
