Chelsea Dominate AC Milan 4-1 In Final Pre-Season Friendly

Chelsea dominated AC Milan in their final pre-season friendly, winning 4-1 at Stamford Bridge. The Blues took control early on with goals from Reece James and João Pedro within minutes of each other.

AC Milan's Andrei Coubiş received a red card in the 19th minute, leaving them with 10 men for 70 minutes. Luka Modrić made his unofficial debut for Milan, but Chelsea extended their lead with a penalty converted by Liam Delap.

Despite a goal from Youssouf Fofana, Milan struggled to contain Chelsea's attacking threat. Chelsea's defense showed some vulnerability, especially after Levi Colwill's recent injury.

Delap sealed the victory with a second goal in the 90th minute, putting pressure on the manager to make selection decisions for the upcoming English Premier League opener against Crystal Palace. The performance of Delap could earn him a starting berth in the new campaign.
