Chelsea's indifferent form continued as a controversial penalty gave Steaua Bucharest a 1-0 victory in Romania over a distinctly off-colour Blues.
Chelsea weren't at the races from the word go, and found themselves behind just after the half-hour mark after to a hotly disputed penalty was given to the home side.
Ryan Bertrand was adjudged to have fouled dangerman Raul Rusescu as he went up for a header, and the top scorer in the Romania league got up to take the spot-kick himself, smashing the ball under Petr Cech.
Although they initially looking to have woken up after falling behind, Chelsea toiled away, but couldn't find that cutting edge all evening, and will have to do much better in the return leg at Stamford Bridge.
