"Chelsea have been short on goals in recent weeks, finding the net just once each in draws against Arsenal, Liverpool and Barcelona before drawing a blank against Everton in defeat on Sunday. That wasn't for the lack of trying, rather they lacked cutting edge. Against Roma, Chelsea were significantly more efficient in their attacking play, hitting the target with 11 of their 18 shots at goal, scoring six times."
"Several superb, sprawling saves from Roma keeper Olivie Lukasova prevented the Blues from hitting double figures on the night. Speaking on Disney+, Williams added, "[Tonight] I think they showed that the chances they have created, they have been able to put away, which they haven't been able to do in recent weeks. "I don't think there was any doubt that this team could create chances.""
