Chelsea's frontal line coming together to give Graham Potter a crucial titleholders League palm over AC Milan.

Wesley Fofana opened the scoring for Chelsea with his first- half thing in the 24th nanosecond, but was forced off injured just 14 twinkles latterly.

That allowed Graham Potter to clear the bench and enjoy his first titleholders League palm in charge of Chelsea,

but more importantly, it was their first palm in the competition this season and keeps them in the blend for a spot in the knockout stages.

The two central midfielders in Ruben Loftus- Cheek and Mateo Kovacic played well in a brace, switching up who heads forward and who holds back.

Though Mason Mount is yet to score this season, you can not imagine Potter is going to change effects up much after seeing his frontal three gel like they did on Wednesday evening.

Ben Chilwell kept him quiet and Krunic squandered AC Milan's best chance of the match on the stroke of half-time as he failed to convert from a few metres out.
