October 5, (THEWILL) – Wesley Fofana, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and Reece James each produced a goal as Chelsea comfortably defeated AC Milan 3-0 on Wednesday to claim their first victory in the UEFA Champions League Group E stage.
Graham Potter’s team had only accrued one point from their first two matches against Dinamo Zagreb and Salzburg, but a victory over the Serie A champions at Stamford Bridge has given their hopes of progressing to the next round a new lease on life.
It was just 24 minutes on the clock when Fofana scored his debut goal for the Blues since joining from Leicester City in September, slotting home following a goalmouth melee.
Chelsea made it two victories in a row following the weekend victory over Crystal Palace in the English Premier League as Aubameyang and James, who assisted the former’s goal, secured the three points in the second half.
Prior to a European rematch next week, both teams will play domestic matches on Saturday. Milan will host Juventus at San Siro while Chelsea will host Wolves at home.
