The Blues celebrate a statement 4-1 win in a friendly played at packed Stamford Bridge on Sunday
Chelsea's recent signings, Liam Delap and Joao Pedro, both scored as the Blues rushed to a 4-1 statement win against AC Milan in their final preseason game ahead of the start of the new season.
Delap's brace proved crucial for a win at Stamford Bridge, but it was Andrei Coubis who scored an own goal to start the Rossonerri's calamitous outing before being sent off after just 18 minutes for taking Chelsea's striker down as the last man.

Joao Pedro scored his fifth goal in as many games for his new club, while Delap - who replaced him around the hour mark - slotted two more for a brutal 4-0 lead. Youssouf Fofana pegged one back in the last minute of the game, which will also be remembered by Luka Modric's Rossonerri debut. The ex-Real Madrid playmaker came on after half-time but couldn't help his new side too much.

Chelsea's boss, Enzo Maresca, may only be concerned about Trevoh Chalobah's injury, which was sustained in a collision with Yunus Musah.
