Chelsea news: Graham Potter is quickly proving that Chelsea do not need to keep looking elsewhere for attacking inspiration.

[Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang](https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/news/potter-key-changes-aubameyang-chelsea-25239571) forcefully shoving his peer Raheem Sterling to the side in order to bag his third goal in three games is the sort of attacking decisiveness Chelsea have lacked. He made some very threatening runs at the Bridge and in flashes on Tuesday, provided more evidence as to why he is so admired. [group of attacking players](https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/news/graham-potter-chelsea-pep-guardiola-25215519) do have enough to make a coherent and threatening combination. We may only have five games to go off, and many caveats can be thrown out regarding the quality of the opposition, but this is early progress. It may sound obvious, but stats demonstrate Chelsea are not only creating more but a better quality of chance for their forwards to finish. Reece James, Wesley Fofana, Conor Gallagher and Jorginho make up the rest.

An early and controversial red card put AC Milan in a bind against Chelsea, but the Blues so far are riding high under Graham Potter.

His goal on Tuesday was his seventh career penalty goal in Champions League (6 with Chelsea), which puts him at eighth all-time. James, who has impressed in these two matches against Milan, trudged off on Tuesday with a problem just after the hour mark. Once Siebert decided it was a foul, the red card was a logical step. Yet after a chastening return to west London last week, his involvement lasted just 18 minutes on Tuesday, sent off by German referee Daniel Siebert for pulling back Mason Mount in the box. Fikayo Tomori's early red card made this a much easier test than it could have been, but Chelsea showed composure and maturity to forge into a 2-0 lead and then stand their ground when Milan's supporters wanted referee Daniel Siebert to even up the sides with every foul Chelsea committed (10 players ended up being carded).

Goals from Jorginho and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang saw Chelsea complete the double over Milan and record a fourth straight victory. After a 1-0 defeat to Dinamo Zagreb in its opening match and a 1-1 draw with Salzburg in Potter’s first game in charge, Chelsea now top Group E.

Graham Potter has revived Chelsea's Champions League campaign with two wins over Milan - so which tactical tweaks allowed him to do this?

A loss away to Dinamo Zagreb and draw at home with RB Salzburg in their opening two group games left them knowing that realistically no fewer than four points would be required to keep qualification from group E to the competition’s last 16 firmly on the horizon. Let’s take a closer look at how Chelsea did it, and how things changed in those few days between games one and two… They did more than that, and now remarkably are in top spot following Salzburg’s 1-1 draw in Zagreb on Tuesday.

Chelsea news: Blues owner Todd Boehly is leading a deal to take a US company called Flexjet public, and this could be positive news for those at Stamford ...

American businessman Boehly has a background in sport but hadn't ventured into football before taking over at Stamford Bridge as part of a consortium in the summer. The company based in Cleveland, Ohio, is being listed in order to raise capital through an initial public offering (IPO) in a merger with Horizon Acquisition Corporation II. One of the most popular jets, The Cessna Citation XLS, burns 189 gallons (857 litres) of aviation fuel per hour on average. Flexjet is the leading rival to Walmart billionaire Warren Buffett's Netjet company within the booming private aviation industry in the US. Flexjet chief financial officer Mike Rossi said: "Our strong revenue performance has been driven by sustained growth in our fleet size and customer base." He used Horizon Acquisition I in 2020 to acquire digital ticketing business Vivid Seats, which is now trading at about 20% below its IPO value.

“The important thing is the quicker you get to know the players, the quicker you can build some trust up, the quicker that you can understand them the better,” Potter said. “I don’t believe it was the referee’s best evening, that’s without a doubt.” “So our job is to try to help them and try to help them enjoy their football. “It’s obviously important for us to be there at the end of the group,” Chelsea manager Graham Potter said. Chelsea were at the bottom of Group E but two straight victories over Serie A champion AC Milan has seen it move into pole position to progress to the UEFA Champions League 2022-23 round of 16. Chelsea moved a point above Salzburg, which drew 1-1 at Dinamo Zagreb in the other Group E match.

Chelsea star Jorginho appeared to be caught laughing as AC Milan midfielder Sandro Tonali bemoaned the referee's decision to send off Fikayo Tomori.

The Italy international then shortly gave his view on the situation and said: "I think it was a penalty. This, however, was not the case as he was instead laughing at the pundits claiming there shouldn't have been a penalty. The referee pulled the challenge back for a penalty and then sent the defender off for a denial of a goal scoring opportunity. "Anyway, we have to look at the rest of the game. It leaves Chelsea top of their group after an impressive turn in form under new boss [Graham Potter](https://www.football.london/all-about/graham-potter). It came after a controversial decision changed the course of the Champions League group stage match in the first half.

A mouth-watering encounter Chelsea and Milan might decide the fate of Group E in the Champions League.

Thiago Silva enjoyed another superb performance against AC Milan in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday night.

The positions he occupies means he doesn't have to get in a foot race with a speedier attacking player. It's a 20-year professional career now for Silva, and his wealth of experience is now easy to see on the pitch. He became just the 46th player in UEFA Champions League history to reach 100 appearances in the famous European competition. There are sure to be talks already going on behind the scenes regarding just that. Chelsea supporters have become so used to seeing the 38-year-old put in 9/10 performances every game that it can almost be taken for granted at times. He's obviously in the final years of his professional career. Chelsea will be hoping Silva can overtake those two club legends while in the famous blue shirt. It was assured from the trio, who looked as if they had been playing with each other for the last few years. Fikayo Tomori's red card gave Chelsea a huge advantage in the first half, which also saw Jorginho and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang score for the visitors. Silva is now nine behind John Terry. Graham Potter found the balance between attack and defence at the San Siro. Solid at the back, but not restricted when going forward.
