Chelsea fans are thrilled to have watched their side comfortably see off AC Milan 3-0 in the Champions League on October 5.
It was the Blues’ best performance of the season as they controlled the reigning Serie A champions.
Graham Potter’s side dominated proceedings in the first half and got the opener in the 24th minute.
Wesley Fofana grabbed his first ever Champions League goal from close range when Ben Chilwell whipped in a corner that caused problems in the box.
The ball fell to Fofana, who slotted home past Ciprian Tătăruşanu to send the Blues on their way to victory.
Unfortunately for the French defender had to come off with an ankle problem following a clash with Rafael Leao.
However, his absence didn’t affect Potter’s team’s performance as they continued to trouble the Milan defense.
Mason Mount thought he had scored in the 32nd minute when he sent a delightful chip over Tătăruşanu. The goal didn’t stand as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was offside in the build-up.
The Rosseneri should have scored on the brink of half-time when Rade Krunic had the opportunity to score from five yards out but Kepa Arrizabalaga was on hand to deny the Bosnian.
The second half was much of the same as Chelsea continued to bombard Tătăruşanu’s goal.
The west Londoners grabbed their second of the night in the 56th minute when Aubameyang got on the end of the brilliant Reece James’ cross.
A third then came in the 61st minute and this time it was James getting on the scoresheet.
The English right-back fired into the roof of Tătăruşanu’s net following a neat one-two with Raheem Sterling.
It was a straightforward night for the Blues in the Champions League, who climb up to 2nd in Group E, one point behind leaders RB Salzburg.
The Stamford Bridge faithful were delighted with the performance and supporters on Twitter have reacted to what was a brilliant night for Potter’s men:
Chelsea win in style under Potter
There has been much debate over Chelsea’s decision to sack former manager Thomas Tuchel.
The German had led the Blues to the Champions League, FIFA Club World Cup and the UEFA Super Cup during his tenure.
However, this season had been a difficult watch for Blues supporters as under Tuchel, Chelsea side were often defensive and lacked attacking intent.
Potter has given the west Londoners a real boost as they put in a performance that will enthuse fans about what they can achieve under the English tactician.
Next up for Potter’s side is the visit of Wolverhampton Wanderers in the league on October 8.
