Game over.
Chelsea needed 3 points tonight and they’ve got it.
Reece James has just scored a rocket for the Blues, taking a touch and hammering the ball past Ciprian Tatarusano in the Milan goal.
It was just desserts for the wing back after an impressive performance, and it was James who had picked up the assist for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s goal not long before.
This is a really pleasing performance, the first confident win of Graham Potter’s time as manager, and we’re already looking forward to the away leg.
