It was all doom and gloom around Chelsea following their first two Champions League matches, the Blues having picked up just a single point from what were meant to be their easier games against Dinamo Zagreb and Red Bull Salzburg.
Any slip ups against AC Milan would have put them in a real tight spot to even qualify, but now, after two straight wins over the Italian champions, they are in pole position to secure top spot in the group.
Their 2-0 win at San Siro was almost as straightforward as their 3-0 win at Stamford Bridge six days earlier, though that was in a large part due to Milan going down to 10 men inside 20 minutes as Fikayo Tomori saw red against his former side.
Jorginho converted from the penalty spot after Tomori's foul on Mason Mount, and the England midfielder was again involved in the second goal as he played in Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to net.
That is now four successive wins for Graham Potter's side since the international break, the last three of which have come without conceding, and it's clear that the ex-Brighton boss is having a positive effect on one of Europe's most talented squads.
