Gallagher misses open net from tight angleHalf-time substitute Gallagher is right into the action, getting the ball in Milan's box. Tatarusanu comes out to close down the angle, but Gallagher goes by him and has an open net to shoot at, albeit from a tight angle. He can only fire his effort into the side-netting though.

Will we see Denis Zakaria in the second half?The Athletic's Simon Johnson reckons we could see Graham Potter make changes in the second half that reflect Chelsea's very strong position in this match, up two goals and a man.

Surely Zakaria gets his debut if #CFC are still cruising with time running out? #MILCHE

Tomori's Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad DayFikayo Tomori can take solace in knowing that he's not the first ex-Chelsea player to be sent off playing against the Blues in the Champions League, after Tal Ben Haim suffered the same fate in 2015 while playing for Maccabi Tel Aviv.

Chelsea looking for a thirdChelsea are not resting on their laurels content with a two-goal lead, as they continue to pressure Milan's goal. James looks to loft a ball into the box to Aubameyang at the far post, but his pass is too strong and goes out for a goal kick. Chelsea are back on the attack only moments later though, as Mount lashes a shot that Tatarusanu is able to parry to safety.

GOAL! Jorginho convertsAfter a quiet start, this game has burst into life. VAR wasn't interested in intervening in the referee's call, so Jorginho, an Italian international, steps to the penalty spot and sends Tatarusanu the wrong way.
"Cool as a polar bear's toenails," Ray Hudson says of Jorginho.
