Chelsea Win In Style In Romania by DAVID on OCTOBER 2, 2013 That was more like it! Ramires scored twice as Chelsea picked up their first points of this season’s Champions League group stage with 4-0 victory over Steaua Bucharest. Schalke beat Basel tonight, leaving Chelsea and Basel in second place with three points. The Blues face Schalke next in a double header that will decide who wins the group. Two of the stars in Romania tonight were Andre Schurrle and Juan Mata. Schurrle, had his best game so far in a Chelsea shirt and played a key role in the first goal, racing past the Macedonian right-back before playing a square pass to Eto’o. The Cameroon forward poked the ball through a couple of defenders before it was prodded in by Ramires, who had timed his run to perfection. Eto’o had only been on the pitch for eight minutes after Fernando Torres came off with what looked to be a knee injury. The substitute was also involved in Chelsea’s second. Spaniard Mata broke free in midfield and found Eto’o, whose firm low shot was parried by goalkeeper Ciprian Tatarusanu and inadvertently slammed in by Georgievski. With the cushion of a 2-0 lead, Chelsea were less conservative and more fluid in the final third after the break. They made it 3-0 following a move that began with Schurrle showboating on the left-hand touchline to escape his marker. The Germany international crossed low to Oscar, who laid the ball to Ramires on his right, who smashed home his second. Both Mata and Oscar hit the woodwork with fierce efforts before veteran midfielder Lampard rounded off a good night’s work for the 2011 champions with a placed effort that went in off the left-hand upright in stoppage time. What did you think of Chelsea’s performance tonight? { 1
