UCL: James scoop MOTM Award, makes history in Chelsea win over AC Milan

Chelsea recorded their first win in Group E in this season’s UEFA Champions League after a comfortable 3-0 win against AC Milan at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday’s night.

Central to this victory was Reece James who put up another master class performance thus achieving another new record in his endearing career in a night where he was also given the man of the match award.

At age 22 years and 301 days, the England Defender is now the youngest Chelsea player ever to both score and assist a goal in the same UEFA Champions League game.

While Fofana had earlier opened the scoreline for Chelsea in the 24th minutes after slotting in a corner, Reece James who would eventually set up Aubameyang for the second goal in the 56th minutes handed Graham Potter a consolidation in the 62nd with his sublime shot to make it 3-0 in a night never to be forgotten.

While he has had five goals contributions so far in the current season, attackers like Rafael Leao, Wilfred Zaha, Leroy Sane, Heung-min Son and Harvey Barnes have attempted 11 dribbles against Reece James and have only succeeded once against him in the current season.

The win took Chelsea to second place on four points after three games played
