Joe Cole slams AC Milan and singles out one Chelsea star after the latest win.
Following the 3-0 victory over AC Milan in the Champions League on Wednesday, former Chelsea winger Joe Cole expressed his satisfaction with the team’s advancement under Graham Potter.
The former England and Liverpool player also criticized AC Milan for their performance at Stamford Bridge, which he called disappointing.
He also singled out Reece James as being “sublime” for praise.
Graham Potter led Chelsea to their first European win on Wednesday since he took over from Thomas Tuchel who began the Champions League with a defeat to lowly rated Dinamo Zagreb.

In order to defeat the Serie A giants, the Blues scored goals from James, Wesley Fofana, and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Cole told BT Sport: “It was very disappointing from Milan actually because they threw the towel in towards the end of the goal. That won’t sit well for Milan fans.
“But Chelsea were great, Reece James was sublime all night, there’s not enough superlatives for that man. It was so routine for Chelsea. To do that to AC Milan shows we’re going in the right direction, so I’m absolutely delighted.”
