Potter credits players and 'fantastic' Mount

By Daily Sports Nigeria on October 12, 2022

"To come here and win is certainly not easy, that is for sure," Potter told BT Sport. "Credit to the players. They were really good, I thought. Obviously, we get a bit of luck with the opponent going down to 10 men but I thought overall the performance was good."

Potter also explained the decision to withdraw Mount at the interval - the England international having been the outstanding player on the pitch in the first half.

"He was on a yellow card and has played a lot of games so we just thought it would be sensible at half-time to give him a breather. But I thought he was fantastic, got into good spaces and attacked the goal well, won the penalty for us and was a constant threat."

Chelsea's win in stats

  • Fikayo Tomori received the earliest red card since the start of a Champions League game for a Milan player.
  • Milan have lost eight of their last nine games in European competition against English sides, drawing the other.
  • Since Jorginho's first season with Chelsea in the Champions League only Robert Lewandowski has scored more penalty goals in the competition.
  • Ten cards were shown in Milan-Chelsea more than in any other Champions League match this season.
  • Thiago Silva becomes the fifth Brazilian to play 100 Champions League games becoming after Roberto Carlos (120), Dani Alves (111), Fernandinho (103) and Marcelo (102).
