One of those nights when everything fell Chelsea’s way, and the path to the last 16 is now clear. A trip to the San Siro wasn’t the challenge it had seemed, or that it used to be, but that wasn’t completely true despite Milan now being a level or two below Graham Potter’s side. The truth was that everything went against the Italian champions in this Group E fixture, and Chelsea made it all count for a 2-0 win.
That is something that has already become impressive in these early days of the Potter tenure, and why there was real merit in a performance that otherwise became a routine group-stage win. If that will ensure it is one of those games that disappears into history other than as a result in the records, it would at least suit Fikayo Tomori. How the Milan defender could do with forgetting this match.
