Group E: Chelsea revive against AC Milan

Chelsea is better!

Unable to win their first two European matches this season, the Blues reacted with style in their shock against AC Milan, crushed 3-0 at Stamford Bridge.

New coach Graham Potter was expected at the turn, and his team passed the test with flying colors, winning on goals from Wesley Fofana (24th), out injured, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (56th) and Reece James (62nd).

A result that shuffles the cards in Group E. Behind RB Salzburg (5 points), who tamed Dinamo Zagreb (1-0), Chelsea and Milan are neck and neck (4 points) before their return match next week at San Siro.
