Chelsea enjoyed a comfortable victory at AC Milan in the UEFA Champions League after former Blues defender Fikayo Tomori received an early red card.
Milan’s Tomori was sent off for pulling back Mason Mount in the area, with Jorginho converting the penalty for Chelsea.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang doubled the lead with a confident strike for Chelsea against his former club, Milan.
But the Milan tie seem to be bad luck when England right-back Reece James limped off.
The win continues Graham Potter’s unbeaten start as Chelsea manager, with four wins in his first five games.
It moves Chelsea top of Group E with seven points from four matches, but it remains extremely tight with Red Bull Salzburg on six points and both Milan and Dinamo Zagreb on four.
Salsburg had played out a 1-1 draw away at Dinamo Zagreb.
Only two players have started all five of Potter’s games in charge of Chelsea so far, goalkeeper Kepa kept again in Milan and Mount played.
It was a fairly straightforward game for Chelsea to earn only their second competitive win on Italian soil from 15 attempts, the last being a 4-0 victory for Claudio Ranieri’s side at Roberto Mancini’s Lazio in November 2003.
Juventus face a tough task if they are to qualify for the knockout stages of the Uefa Champions League after suffering a shock loss away to Maccabi Haifa.
Omer Atzili scored two first-half goals for the Israeli side to leave Juventus third in Group H with two games left.
Atzili’s first came after only seven minutes when Pierre Cornud’s cross bounced off Atzili’s back and crept in.
The second saw Atzili fire a shot into the top corner after a bright run and pass by team-mate Frantzdy Pierrot.
Juventus only have three points from their four matches, after they had beaten Maccabi Haifa 3-1 at the Allianz Stadium last week.
Massimiliano Allegri’s side now have to win at Benfica on 25 October and at home to Paris St-Germain on 2 November to have any chance of making the last 16.
PSG and Benfica, settled for a 1-1 draw in Paris.
Kylian Mbappe opened scoring for PSG while Joa Mario scored the equalizer for Benfica.
For Maccabi Haifa, this was their first Uefa Champions League group-stage victory since a 3-0 triumph over Manchester United in October of 2002.
Two-time European champions Juventus are also struggling domestically after a 2-0 loss to AC Milan on Saturday left them eighth in Serie A, 10 points behind leaders Napoli.
England midfielder Jude Bellingham scored again as Borussia Dortmund drew with Sevilla in their Uefa Champions League Group G game.
Dortmund would have qualified for the last 16 if they had found a winner.
Bellingham, 19, got his fourth goal in this season’s tournament when he volleyed in from Thomas Meunier’s cross to make it 1-1 in the 35th minute.
Sevilla had taken an 18th-minute lead through Tanguy Nianzou’s header from Ivan Rakitic’s flighted free-kick.
The result ensured Manchester City, who drew 0-0 at Copenhagen despite having full-back Sergio Gomez sent off after only 30 minutes, would advance into the knockout stages.
Second-placed Dortmund will join City in the last 16 if they pick up one point from their last two matches.
They host Pep Guardiola’s side in their next Champions League game on 25 October.
Ten-man Manchester City missed a penalty and had a goal ruled out.
A dramatic opening saw two contentious decisions set the tone for the evening.

Rodri’s superb 25-yard effort for City was ruled out after Riyad Mahrez was penalised for handling. The visitors benefited by being awarded a penalty when the ball struck home defender Nicolai Boilesen on the arm. This was as he competed for a corner with Manuel Akanji.
But Copenhagen goalkeeper Kamil Grabara brilliantly saved Mahrez’s spot-kick to the delight of a raucous Parken Stadium crowd. Before Pep Guardiola’s side had Sergio Gomez sent-off for a professional foul on 19-year-old forward Hakon Haraldsson five minutes later.
And he left the English champions forced to reshape and play the final hour a man down.
City arrived in the Danish capital with the expectation of a win confirming their progression to the knockout stages with two games to spare.
Erling Braut Haaland did not get to play. Explaining his decision not to play the Norwegian, Guardiola said: “He finished the game against Southampton so, so tired and didn’t recover well.
“Yesterday was not good, today a little better but not perfect so we decided not to take the risk.”
However, despite the draw, Guardiola’s side still qualify for the knockout phase.
This was possible because Sevilla failed to beat Borussia Dortmund in Tuesday’s other Group G fixture.
City’s run of six consecutive victories come to an end with the loss of their 100% record in the competition.
And Guardiola appeared satisfied by a point in an encounter they dominated early on.
A youthful Copenhagen side featuring six players aged 20 or under initially struggled to deal with the experience of City. Particularly, slick passing on show from the visitors, with Julian Alvarez close to opening the scoring.
And despite the loss of Gomez just before the half hour mark City still managed almost 70% possession. Before the break, though the dynamic of the game altered thereafter.
With Bernardo Silva and Phil Foden only introduced late on, rested for City’s impending trip to Anfield. Where they will face Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday (16:30 BST).
Joao Cancelo and Kevin de Bruyne both tested Grabara. While at the other end Lukas Lerager’s dipping shot was the closest. Jacob Neestrup’s side came to registering their first goal in the tournament this term.
Celtic’s hopes of a Champions League progress are over after they were punished for wastefulness. Their tie was a frustrating home defeat by RB Leipzig.
Matt O’Riley and Greg Taylor struck the woodwork in quick succession. Daizen Maeda and Kyogo Furuhashi also passed up glaring chances for the opener.
Leipzig showed the ruthless edge Celtic lacked with late goals from Timo Werner and substitute Emil Forsberg.
It leaves the Scottish champions bottom with one point from four games.
But while a top-two finish is now beyond Celtic, their hopes of salvaging a Europa League place were boosted. This was following Real Madrid’s late equaliser away to Shakhtar Donetsk. Shakhtar are now four points ahead in third and visit Glasgow in a fortnight.
O’Riley rattled the base of a post with a 20-yard strike and Taylor pounced on the loose ball only to scuff it onto the bar. He did this with the goal at his mercy.
Seconds later, Kyogo grazed the woodwork with a gilt-edged header from Sead Haksabanovic’s delivery.
Maeda had set the tone of frustration in the opening seconds. He scooped an awkward header inches over, and made some wasteful finishing. It is ultimately what has condemned Celtic to an exit with two games to spare.
Celtic goalkeeper, who gifted a goal last week in Germany, stuck out a leg to divert Christopher Nkunku’s drive. Past a post then spread himself to foil Willi Orban.
Leipzig full-back Mohamed Simakan blazed over at one end, Maeda volleyed Aaron Mooy’s cross wide at the other.
Werner later scored the first but Leipzig were still undone.
Still Celtic had chances, with substitute Giorgos Giakoumakis unable to convert from close range.
But Leipzig put the result beyond doubt. They did this when Werner rolled a pass to Forsberg, who took a touch then sent an unerring finish into the top corner.
For today’s fixtures Napoli will host Ajax in Italy. In the same Group A Liverpool will travel to Scotland for an all-English affair with Glasgow Rangers.
In Group B Athletico Madrid are home at the Wander Metropolitano to visiting Club Brugge. The second game in the group will see Bayer Leverkusen hosts FC Porto in Germany.
Barcelona and Inter highlights Group C as Viktoria Plzen entertains Bayern in same group.
In Group D it will be Sporting CP vs Olympique Marssielle and Tottenham Hotspur vs Eintracht Frankfurt.
