The Belgium winger drove down the left before finding Oscar in the box and he played a neat one-two with Diego Costa before stabbing in a low finish.After striking the crossbar early on, Junuzovic atoned for his error by winning a penalty from Nemanja Matic on 32 minutes, with Pizarro slotting home an inch-perfect spot-kick to reduce the deficit. But just before the break, Costa was slipped in behind enemy lines by Hazard, before keeping his cool to slot a neat finish across goal to restore Chelsea's two-goal cushion.Bremen's Thy made an impact from the bench with a stunning strike from 25 yards on 65 minutes, Thibaut Courtois only able to offer a despairing dive. Conte took no chances in immediately substituting captain John Terry after a late injury scare caused by a collision, before Pedro ensured it was all smiles again with a stoppage-time strike to seal the win.</blockquote>
