Tomori's moment to forget against former club

By Daily Sports Nigeria on October 12, 2022

Milan had started the game brightly and might even have equalised when down to 10 men had Olivier Giroud - another former Chelsea player - headed the other side of the post from close range. But the game hinged on the phase of the play that saw Tomori depart.

The 24-year-old centre-back has his admirers with many arguing that he should be in Gareth Southgate's starting line-up for the World Cup. But while there was debate about the decision to send him off, the build-up to it did not show him at his best.

Mount had already got the wrong side of him and Tomori compounded the error by attempting to tug him back. The red card would have attracted rather less controversy had the Chelsea midfielder tumbled to the ground rather than got his shot away.

If Mount deserved credit for that, how about his role in the second? It was his pass that split the Milan defence and had both Aubameyang and Raheem Sterling queuing up to apply the finish. Potter removed him at the interval but by that stage his work had been done.

The Chelsea boss might regret not removing James too. An awkward landing led to him having to be substituted on the hour mark. It was the one blot on a successful night.
