There were a lot of controversial decisions from match-day referee Daniel Siebert however, which provided fodder for post-match analysis.

Milan were reduced to 10 men after only 18 minutes when former Chelsea defender Fikayo Tomori was sent off for a last-man challenge on Mason Mount.

The penalty decision was agreeable to most fans, but the red card felt a little bit too harsh and against the rules of double jeopardy.

Jorginho stepped up and scored the resultant penalty. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang added another one just before half-time to take Chelsea top of their group.

Siebert also issued 9 yellow cards in total. Tonali was quizzed after the game about what he made of the officiating and he said:

"There are so many incidents like that during a game. When you give a penalty and a red card after 18 minutes for a touch like that," Tonali told Sky Sport Italia, as quoted by Metro UK.
"We may as well make it basketball, where any touch is a foul. It felt like that anyway, we had several yellow cards for ridiculous, embarrassing free kicks in the first half alone."

Sky Sports then showed a video of Jorginho laughing as Tonali vented his frustrations. The former Napoli star admitted that the red card was harsh, but he nonetheless appeared to find Tonali's agony funny.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang reveals why he fell out with Mikel Arteta

Sports Brief had earlier reported on Chelsea striker, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang finally explaining what led to him leaving Arsenal earlier in the year.

Aubameyang was 'frozen' out of the side by Arteta over what was described as indiscipline, with the Gabonese international eventually moving to Barcelona, and finally to Chelsea.

According to a recent Metro UK report, Aubameyang stated that Arteta does not know how to handle big players.
