Chelsea FC 3-0 AC Milan: Graham Potter’s side pick up a crucial three points in the Champions League as they cruise to a 3-0 win over AC Milan.
Goals from Wesley Fofana, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Reece James saw Chelsea dominate at Stamford Bridge. Milan was poor throughout and rarely challenged Kepa and the Blues go level on points with their opponents in Group E.
Earlier in the first half, Graham Potter’s team leads the Italian champions thanks to Wesley Fofana’s first-ever goal for the Blues as they strive for their first European victory.
Chelsea had a good first 45 minutes of play. Wesley Fofana steered a shot into the net after a goalmouth scramble from a corner as the Blues took the lead from a set piece after a slow start to the game. The unfortunate part is that Trevoh Chalobah, who was thrust into the action, has begun well despite having to replace Fofana after sustaining an injury. The second half must be huge.
