Potter insists Milan return will be "huge challenge" despite 3-0 win

Chelsea took a huge step towards booking their place in the Champions League knockout stages after beating 10-man AC Milan at the San Siro.

The game turned following a controversial red card shown to former Chelsea defender Fikayo Tomori, who was sent off for pulling back Mason Mount in the box.

Jorginho stepped up to convert the penalty and although Milan responded well to going behind, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang finished off a slick move to double their lead.

Chelsea played out the second half to earn a professional win, but their victory was dampened by the sight of Reece James going off injured after an awkward landing.

AC Milan 0-2 Chelsea

85 mins: Chelsea have one more change to make - which really goes to show how strong their bench is. They’ve still got Pulisic, Broja, and Cucurella who could have come on - while youngsters like Chukwuemeka might also get some minutes.

75 mins: Chance! Great play from Loftus-Cheek, who strides forward and then slides in a great ball towards Aubameyang. The striker is unable to get the ball out of his feet inside the box and Dest gets back to make the challenge.

Just before, Leao almost got in thanks to a slip from Chalobah, but the defender got back and helped Koulibaly win it back.

66 mins: There’s another yellow card - this time for the Milan substitute Tommaso Pobega. The game has lost all its flow now. Hardly a contest. But Chelsea are doing a professional job.

AC Milan 0-2 Chelsea

63 mins: That’s a big concern for Chelsea. This game is all but over but an injury to one of their key players is not what they need. Also significant to any England fans ahead of the World Cup, which is just weeks away.
