Graham Potter picked up his second Chelsea victory in his third match as head coach on Wednesday evening.
The Blues cruised to a 3-0 win over AC Milan in what was a dominant display at Stamford Bridge. Goals from Wesley Fofana, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Reece James were enough for the west Londoners to secure a crucial three points in Group E.
After beating Crystal Palace 2-1 at the weekend, Chelsea have now recorded back-to-back victories for the first time this season. The last time they managed to do that was back in April, where they won three in a row against Southampton, Real Madrid and Crystal Palace.

If Potter can manage to guide his side to a third win in just seven days on Saturday, then it really could kickstart Chelsea's season and his tenure at the club. If the Blues can avoid conceding at the weekend, then it will be the first time they have kept back-to-back clean sheets since way back in February, where the Blues stopped Lille and Liverpool from scoring.
As well as the consecutive wins and clean sheet talk, Potter will be hoping to achieve something his predecessor Thomas Tuchel never could at Chelsea. Beat Wolves. In three matches in charge against the West Midlands side, Tuchel drew every game – including the most recent one towards the end of last season.
A Romelu Lukaku brace looked like it would be enough for Chelsea to take all three points at Stamford Bridge, but a late Wolves fightback ensured the match ended as a draw. Tuchel was left a very frustrated man after the match as his hoodoo against Wolves continued.
It turned out to be the last time the German would face them and now Potter gets a big chance to try and defeat Chelsea's recent bogey side. In Potter's last game against Wolves, his former Brighton side cruised to a 3-0 victory at Molineux, where the new Chelsea head coach outclassed Bruno Lage.
Of course, on Saturday, Lage will not be in the visitors' dugout. The 46-year-old was sacked on Sunday following Wolves' 2-0 defeat to West Ham United. Wolves are still on the hunt for Lage's successor, with Steve Davis and James Collins expected to take charge of the side for the match in west London on Saturday.
Potter will be hoping Chelsea can take advantage of the uncertainty at Wolves at the moment and end their recent poor form against the side. The Blues need to make it three wins on the bounce as they continue their transformation under the new head coach.
