Chelsea striker Aubameyang: We handled AC Milan atmos perfectly

Chelsea striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang believes they managed the atmosphere at AC Milan to perfection.

The Blues knew they would be in for a hostile game against the Italian giants in the Champions League group stages.

However, they did the double over the Serie A champions in a week, winning 2-0 away to back up a 3-0 home win last week.

“We're very pleased. We did very well as we knew it would be a tough atmosphere with their fans. We managed this so well, played with character and got a big win," Aubameyang said post-match.

“It definitely changed the game [Fikayo Tomori's sending off]. We can only be happy with this decision. We played very well from then on with an extra player. We controlled the ball and scored a second."

“It is always nice to play with players like Mason [Mount]. I think we have a great team, I am happy to be here," he added.

“I have got rid of my mask, so I'm enjoying it!" Auba joked.

“I am here to do my job which is to score goals."
