EPL: Disappointing - Cole slams AC Milan, singles out Chelsea star after latest win

Former Chelsea winger Joe Cole said he was delighted with the team's progress under Graham Potter following their 3-0 win over AC Milan in the Champions League on Wednesday.

The former England and Liverpool star also slammed AC Milan for what he described as a disappointing outing at Stamford Bridge.

He also singled out the "sublime" Reece James for his praise.

Graham Potter led Chelsea to their first European win on Wednesday since taking over from Thomas Tuchel who started the Champions League with a loss to low-rated Dinamo Zagreb.

James, Wesley Fofana and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang all scored for the Blues as they faced the Serie A giants

Cole told BT Sport: "It was very disappointing from Milan actually because they threw in the towel towards the end of the goal. Milan fans won't like it.

"But Chelsea were great, Reece James was sublime all night, there are not enough superlatives for this man.

"It was so routine for Chelsea. Doing this at AC Milan shows that we are heading in the right direction, so I am absolutely delighted."
