AC Milan were desperate to right the wrongs of their performance against Chelsea last week but unfortunately for the Italians, they could not have had a worse start during tonight’s return game.
In action at the San Siro, the Rossoneri, who lost three-nil against Chelsea last week, will be eager to get the better of their London-based opponents the second time round.
However, it won’t be easy after defender Fikayo Tomori was shown a Straight Red for pulling Mason Mount, who got goal-side of the former Chelsea defender, back by the shirt.
AC Milan are down to 10-men!!

The centre-back’s challenge not only saw the referee produce a red card but as the foul occurred inside the Serie A champions’ box, Chelsea were also awarded a penalty.
Midfielder Joringho was tasked with converting the spot which the Italy international did with aplomb.
