Milan, who host the Londoners next week, also have four, with Zagreb on three.<\/p>\n<p>The Italian seven-times champions will have to find a lot more in the San Siro than they showed in London if they are to have a good chance of advancing to the knockout stage for the first time since 2014.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea, by contrast, will travel full of confidence after rediscovering their swagger following their insipid opening games and though they still look a long way from the side who lifted the Cup in 2021 they were solid throughout and finished clinically.<\/p>\n<p>They took a while to settle on Wednesday but gradually began to exert control as Mason Mount had a shot pushed wide and Thiago Silva went close with two headers from corners.<\/p>\n<p>Inexplicably, the Brazilian was left unmarked for a third and though his powerful header was beaten out by stand-in keeper Ciprian Tatarusanu, after an ensuing scramble Fofana calmly tucked the ball into an inviting gap to make it 1-0 in the 24th minute.<\/p>\n<p>Milan were muscular in their running but lacked guile and precision and failed to create a worthwhile chance until first-half stoppage time when Rade Krunic blazed over \u2013\u2013 put off by a great last-ditch lunge by Ben Chilwell \u2013 after Kepa Arrizabalaga had saved from Charles de Ketelaere\u00a0following a driving run by Rafael Leao.<\/p>\n<p>It proved their high-water point of the night as in the 56th minute former Chelsea centre back Fikayo Tomori failed to cut out a near-post James cross and Aubameyang had a simple task to guide it home.<\/p>\n<p>Five minutes later it was all over when James was again left unmarked on the right to run on to a Raheem Sterling pass and lashed an unstoppable third goal into the roof of the net.<\/p>\n<p>An insipid Milan failed to show any sort of response, barely putting the home defence under pressure, let alone threatening a goal, as Chelsea strolled through the final half-hour.<\/p>\n<p> (Reporting by Mitch Phillips, editing by Clare Fallon)<\/p>\n<p><a
