Following a questionable penalty call, Eden Hazard placed the ball on the spot to give Chelsea the lead on five minutes against Maccabi Tel Aviv on Wednesday.

Fortunately for the visiting Israeli champion, the Belgian continued his poor record of converting penalties in the Champions League, and blazed it well over the bar.

The spot kick was awarded after Willian appeared to dive untouched over a challenge from Maccabi Tel-Aviv goalkeeper Predrag Rajkovic, but the score remained at 0-0 as the 24-year-old sent the ball well over the Chelsea support behind the goal.
