Chelsea put in a dominant display to earn a 2-0 win over AC Milan in their UEFA Champions League (UCL) group game at the San Siro Stadium on Tuesday night.

The Blues claimed the much deserved win following first half goals from Jorginho and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Chelsea got off to a good start when Milan’s Fikayo Tomori was dismissed for a professional foul in the box as the last defender and Jorginho slotted home the penalty kick to give Chelsea the lead.

Aubameyang doubled the advantage on 34 minutes with a well-taken first-time strike to make it consecutive games on the scoresheet.

Oliver Giroud, former Chelsea striker, wasted rare openings as the London club completed home and away victories over the Serie A side.

Graham Potter’s men lead Group E with seven points, one more than Salzburg in second and a further three points from AC Milan in third place.

Elsewhere, the trio of Real Madrid, Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) could not claim maximum points in their respective encounters as they were held to draws by less-fancied opponents.
