Chelsea Complete Double Over 10-Man Milan, Celtic UCL Hopes Shattered

Chelsea made it four consecutive wins as they beat 10-man AC Milan 2-0 on Tuesday night at the San Siro in the UEFA Champions League to take go top of Group E.

Chelsea enjoyed a comfortable victory after former Blues defender Fikayo Tomori received an early red card for pulling back Mason Mount in the area, with Jorginho converting the penalty.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang doubled the lead with a confident strike against his former club, to put Graham Potter's side in control of the match.

But Chelsea and England suffered a blow in the second half when right-back Reece James limped off.

The win continues Potter's unbeaten start as Chelsea manager, with four wins in his first five games.

It moves Chelsea top with 7 points from four matches, but it remains extremely tight with Red Bull Salzburg on 6 points and both Milan and Dinamo Zagreb on 4.

In Group F, Celtic's hopes of Champions League progress are over after they were punished in a frustrating 2-0 home defeat by RB Leipzig.

Matt O'Riley and Greg Taylor struck the woodwork in quick succession and Daizen Maeda and Kyogo Furuhashi also passed up glaring chances for the opener.

Leipzig showed the ruthless edge Celtic lacked with late goals from Timo Werner and substitute Emil Forsberg, to condemn the Scottish champions bottom with one point from four games.

But while a top-two finish is now beyond Celtic, their hopes of salvaging a Europa League place were boosted by Real Madrid's late equaliser away to Shakhtar Donetsk, who are now four points ahead in third and visit Glasgow in a fortnight.
