LONDON (Reuters) - Antonio Conte was in no mood to wax lyrical about the virtues of free-flowing Champions League football after his Chelsea side lost the plot and threw away a two-goal lead before scrambling a 3-3 home draw with AS Roma on Wednesday. Hazard's second of the night ensured they remain favourites to reach the last 16 but Conte, who had never conceded three goals as a manager in the Champions League before, was far from happy with what he had witnessed. "I like to be honest and for sure I didn't like the type of football we played for a lot of parts of the game," Conte told reporters. It was the third time Chelsea had failed to win a Champions League match having enjoyed a two-goal lead - all at Stamford Bridge and one, in 2012, when Conte's Juventus drew 2-2. "In the first half we were 2-0 up, but we weren't in control of the game," Conte said.
