Chelsea's Robben gets first start in Europe

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho compensated for a late injury to Russian midfielder Alexei Smertin by handing Arjen Robben his first start in Europe, against CSKA Moscow tonight.

It was a second start of the season for Robben and Glen Johnson at right-back. Scott Parker was handed his third start.

Moscow striker Olic had to settle for a place on the bench as Moscow pinned their hopes on Vagner Love as a lone striker.
