Chelsea made a bold statement against Atletico Wednesday even as Diego Costa watched from the stand.
Michy Batshuayi grabbed an injury-time winner as Chelsea won 2-1 at Atletico Madrid.
Atletico were handed the opener against English champions Chelsea when David Luiz needlessly gave away a penalty and Antoine Griezmann slotted past keeper Thibaut Courtois.
But the Wanda Metropolitano – as well as the watching Diego Costa, signed this week from Chelsea – was silenced as former Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata headed in an excellent Eden Hazard cross.
Antonio Conte's men deserved all three points and snatched the win in the fourth minute of added time as Belgian subsitute Batshuayi picked out the bottom corner.
"Michy scores every time he's on the field! He can score every time. I'm so happy for him," said winger Hazard.
"We want to play games like these. We play for Chelsea, one of the biggest clubs in the world and we want to win everything."
Chelsea are now clear of Roma at the top of Group C by two points, after the Italians held on to beat Qarabag 2-1 in the early kick-off in Baku.
