Rapid Vienna 2 - Chelsea 0: Antonio Conte loses first game in charge

ANTONIO CONTE lost his first game as Chelsea boss as the Blues were defeated 2-0 by Rapid Vienna

Conte was without a number of Euro 2016 stars and gave Victor Moses, Papy Djilobodji and Ruben Loftus-Cheek the chance to impress in the first 45 minutes.

But the Blues were behind after just eight minutes when Brazilian striker Joelinton rounded Asmir Begovic and slotted home

Chelsea improved after the break as Conte replaced Loftus-Cheek and Baba Rahman with Oscar and Ola Aina. 

Band Diego Costa almost brought them level after 65 minutes, but he could only nod his header over.

And Rapid made them pay when Branislav Ivanovic's error allowed Tomi to poke home from close range to seal the win
