“He’s best player, very smart” – Aluko hails Chelsea star after 3-0 win over AC Milan
Eniola Aluko, a former Chelsea attacker, praised Reece James following the Blues’ 3-0 victory over AC Milan on Wednesday night in the Champions League.
Chelsea entered the contest with just one point from its first two games after losing to Dinamo Zagreb and drawing 1-1 with Salzburg.
However, the Blues under Graham Potter appear to be regaining their momentum after last weekend’s victory at Crystal Palace and the current victory over AC Milan.
With goals from James, Wesley Fofana, and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, the Blues defeated the Italians to earn their first victory in Europe under Potter.
Former England player Eniola commented on BT Sports that Reece James’ goal was quite clever.
The strike is excellent because he waits for the overlap to occur. It’s such a clever conclusion. In the second half, he was the most valuable player on the field.
