It had turned into a frown by full time. Chelsea showed there is very much life after Costa with the returning <a class=\"autolink\" href=\"http:\/\/www.eurosport.com\/football\/eden-hazard_prs136361\/person.shtml\">Eden Hazard<\/a> &#8211; starting just his second game of the season following injury &#8211; forging a very promising link-up with Morata. There&#8217;s no doubt Costa was a great player for the Londoners, but on this evidence the Blues&#8217; new forward-line will cause trouble for any side across the continent.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>MAN OF THE MATCH<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"storyfull__paragraph\"><strong>Eden Hazard (Chelsea).<\/strong> There was much talk that Chelsea needed a big display from Hazard in the lead up to this encounter &#8211; and he duly delivered. The Belgian showed no signs of rust as he tormented the Atletico defence with a lively display. He was unlucky to hit the post in the first 45 before providing a sumptuous assist for Morata&#8217;s equaliser.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>PLAYER RATINGS<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"storyfull__paragraph\"><strong>ATLETICO:<\/strong> Oblak 7; Juanfran 7, Godin 6, Lucas 6, Filipe 6; Saul 7, Thomas 6, Koke 7; Carrasco 7, Griezmann 6, <a class=\"autolink\" href=\"http:\/\/www.eurosport.com\/football\/pablo-correa_prs30434\/person.shtml\">Correa<\/a> 6.

Atletico 1-0 Chelsea.<\/strong> Griezmann fires his penalty straight down the middle as Courtois dives to his left. The referee pointed to the spot after Luiz was penalised for pushing Lucas at a left-wing corner. Poor play from the Blues defender.<\/p>\n<p class=\"storyfull__paragraph\"><strong>45&#8242; &#8211; ATLETICO CHANCE<\/strong>. It should be two! Koke sees a low piledriver parried into the danger zone by Courtois, but Saul somehow prods inches past the post with the goal gaping.<\/p>\n<p class=\"storyfull__paragraph\"><strong>59&#8242; GOAL! Atletico 1-1 Chelsea.<\/strong> Morata levels for Chelsea! Hazard jinks at his man and sends in a sensational cross from the left that Morata deftly flicks home with a sweet header.<\/p>\n<p class=\"storyfull__paragraph\"><strong>62&#8242; &#8211; CHELSEA CHANCE.<\/strong> Chelsea should be ahead. Morata causes problems, allowing Hazard to pick up the pieces and pull it back for Fabregas, who somehow stabs wide from close range.<\/p>\n<p class=\"storyfull__paragraph\"><strong>74&#8242; &#8211; CHELSEA CHANCE.<\/strong> Morata speeds beyond Lucas and surges towards Oblak before firing wide of target. A big chance goes begging for the visitors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"storyfull__paragraph\"><strong>90+3&#8242; GOAL! Atletico 1-2 Chelsea.<\/strong> Batshuayi wins it for Chelsea! The substitute tucks in from close range after Alonso pulled it back from the right of the box following a superb team move.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>KEY STATS<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"storyfull__paragraph\">Alvaro Morata scored his first goal in seven games against Atletico Madrid in all competitions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"storyfull__paragraph\">In 2017, no player has scored more sub goals for a PL club in all competitions than Michy Batshuayi (4, level with <a class=\"autolink\" href=\"http:\/\/www.eurosport.com\/football\/olivier-giroud_prs87281\/person.shtml\">Giroud<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p class=\"storyfull__paragraph\">Batshuayi has scored 5 goals in his last 3 games for Chelsea in all competitions, as many as in his previous 16.<\/p>\n<p class=\"storyfull__paragraph\">Since the start of 2015\/16, Antoine Griezmann has had a hand in 52% of Atletico Madrid&#8217;s 33 CL goals (14 goals, 3 assists).<\/p>\n<p class=\"storyfull__paragraph\">Griezmann was the last Atletico player to score at V.
