Great performance tonight, we basically controlled the whole game and deserved to win. However on another day that penalty Luiz gave away could have been costly, especially if atletico scored that rebound chance just before half time to give them a 2-0 lead.
I hope I'm not coming across negatively because I'm absolutely delighted with our performance tonight. Hazard back to his best, Morata on the scoresheet again, Batshuai coming and grabbing the winner, the midfield dominating the game while the defense looked very comfortable.
My only gripe tonight was with Luiz conceding that blatant silly penalty as I mentioned earlier. On any other day that could have decided the game. I just hope we're not constantly talking about Luiz and those type of incidents this season, because that's twice in his last 2 games we've had an incident with him. It's a shame because if he puts his head on from last season he's a superb player!

I think Christensen will be slowly integrated this year to replace him. Let's not forget Luiz was a monster for us last year and his passion is brilliant to see he just needs to be less hot headed.

I just love the way Conti moved the players around. Luiz to mid Chris to cd. Our midfield is strong. Baka still needs to hold on to the ball a bit better but overall awesome game of football. Go Blues.

Yeah i thought Baka was sloppy at times in the game as well as Fabregas. But the power Bakayoko provides for us is massive in these big games, if he can sort that part of his game he'll be unstoppable. And this Hazard and Morata link up is going to be special to watch this season, we maybe aren't favourites for the PL title or the CL but only a fool would write us off.

Will be a joy to see Hazard Morata and Pedro together.
