An own goal by Andrei Coubis and a Joao Pedro strike gave Chelsea a two-goal advantage in under ten minutes.

Coubis was then sent off after denying Pedro with a goal scoring opportunity and Chelsea made the player advantage count.

Dewsbury-Hall wows on debut - Everton's 3 winners and 3 losers from narrow loss v Roma	Liverpool pre-season player ratings, winners and losers with one 3/10 and Rio Ngumoha superb	Mason Mount superb but Amad dismal - Man United ratings in draw v Fiorentina

Liam Delap got off the mark in Chelsea colours from the penalty spot before adding another with the final action of the match, although the Blues could not keep a clean sheet as Youssouf Fofana netted for the visitors.

Robert Sanchez – 6

Had little to do against the ten men of AC Milan, but may be disappointed to have conceded at his near post.

Reece James (Off for Malo Gusto 61?) – 8 – Player of the match

A delicate free-kick to force the own goal by Coubis and enjoyed himself down the right flank.

Excellent defending to deny AC Milan a certain goal after Rafael Leao had rounded the goalkeeper.

Substitutes

Josh Acheampong (On for Trevoh Chalobah 57?) – 6

Made one important block and could now prove to be a useful option for Maresca as Chelsea await the verdict on Chalobah’s injury.

Liam Delap (On for Joao Pedro 60?) – 7

Scored his first goal for Chelsea to get off the mark and it was a fine penalty right in the corner of the net with plenty of pace and power.

The 18-year-old impressed.

Reggie Walsh (On for Pedro Neto 71?) – 6

After not being involved against Bayer Leverkusen in the last pre-season friendly Reggie Walsh would have been delighted at making an appearance here.

Tyrique George (On for Jamie Gittens 73?) – 6

Showed flashes of his quality and the 19-year-old is a rising star in the Chelsea ranks.

Jorrel Hato (On for Tosin Adarabioyo 73?) – 6

Chelsea’s new signing from Ajax had little to do, but it was good for Maresca to give the defender his first minutes at Stamford Bridge.

Dairo Essugo (On for Moises Caicedo 73?) – 6

A good run out for 20-year-old, but saw little of him in the final stages of the match.
