Chelsea 2-0 AC Milan LIVE Score, Club Friendlies: Joao Pedro Nets For Blues In Stamford Bridge Friendly

Two golden chances for Palmer in the space of five minutes. He hit the frame of the goal from a free-kick, which half of the stadium thought was going in. Later, the number 10 hit a bullet shot that went just wide of the corner. This time, even Palmer thought he had scored!

The tragedy is compounded for AC Milan. Saelemaekers had the first shot on target for Milan, which Robert did well to parry away. Chelsea break with a long ball towards Joao Pedro. Coubis, with no cover from his teammates, clatters into the back of the Brazilian, who goes down. The referee brings out the red card. A horror show for the youngster.

Chelsea score again just two minutes and 20 seconds later, and it comes via a swinging delivery from Pedro Neto from the right lank. Joao Pedro gets his head at the end of it, and Maignan has no chance. What a signing the Brazilian has proved to be for the Blues.

Musah's foul proves to be costly. Reece James' free-kick from the right is floated towards the crowd in the box, and it goes into the back of the net, with Andrei Coubis getting the final touch.

Chelsea have started the match well, keeping posession in the middle of the park. Despite being a friendly match, the competitive nature is high, with Tomori clashing into Joao Pedro early on. Musah brings down Gittens as the winger looked to break, and Chelsea win a free-kick.
