Chelsea 2 Juventus 2


OSC-ARGHHH ... the Brazilian is left in agony by Leonardo Bonucci
OSC-ARGHHH ... the Brazilian is left in agony by Leonardo Bonucci

CHELSEA blew a two-goal lead — and Roberto Di Matteo blew a fuse at the ref.

The Blues boss was fuming after a stamp on two-goal hero Oscar by Juve’s Leonardo Bonucci went unpunished.
Di Matteo said: “It was a bad tackle on Oscar and he had to come off. If UEFA have a look at it, that would be good.
“The referee didn’t do much about many challenges — the one on Eden Hazard was a penalty. He got pushed and there was contact as well.”
The reigning European champions raced into a 2-0 lead in this Group E thriller thanks to Oscar’s brilliant strikes.
But Arturo Vidal pulled one back and the Blues caved in after Chelsea’s £25million Brazilian midfielder limped off in the 75th minute.
Ref Pedro Proenca missed the stamp and Juve sub Fabio Quagliarella levelled five minutes later.
Di Matteo added: “That was a big disappointment. We found ourselves in a great position to win the game and yet we only got a draw in the end.
“It was a good game of football but we feel a bit deflated because we were ahead and should have closed the game out.

“But we made a couple of mistakes and now it’s going to be very tough.” Asked about the performance of Oscar, Di Matteo added: “We were just waiting for the right game for him, it was wonderful to watch. The second goal was fantastic.”
Oscar said: “Of course I am so happy to score on my Champions League debut. The two goals were amazing. I’m very proud.
“But I don’t always score goals like that. Sometimes it happens — but not every time.”
Former Blues defender Graeme Le Saux raved: “That’s going to be one of the best goals we see in the Champions League this season.
“That was a fantastic start for Oscar.”
TV pundit Jamie Redknapp added: “He’s so hot and on such a high at the moment.
“If you watch it closely, he never took his eye off the ball for that second goal. It was fantastic.”
