Tomori: The Chelsea Old Boy Turned Lynchpin Of Milan’s Revival

Fikayo Tomori is hoping to put on a more convincing show against his former club Chelsea when AC Milan welcome the Blues to the San Siro on Tuesday, IgbereTV reports 

Tomori was one of the stars of the show on Saturday as Milan swept aside Juventus, another in a long list of strong displays in which he also opened the scoring in a comfortable 2-0 win.

The England international had a torrid time in a 3-0 thumping at his old home Stamford Bridge last week, along with the rest of a Milan team troubled by injuries, but is in good spirits for the return game after a fine win at the weekend.

Milan and Chelsea trail Group E leaders Salzburg by a single point and both teams are still favourites to qualify for the knockout stages.

“We have another game against Chelsea coming up and we want to do more, not just in terms of our performance, but also how we go after them,” Tomori told DAZN on Saturday.

“We were a bit more determined today and we’re going for the win on Tuesday.”

Tomori helped Milan to the win on Saturday with just his second league goal for the club, the other one also coming against Juventus during his initial loan spell from Chelsea in the first half of 2021.

A snap shot from former Chelsea teammate Olivier Giroud following Theo Hernandez’s corner slapped onto Tomori’s chest and fell at his feet, allowing him to thrash in the opener on the stroke of half-time.

“We obviously worked on that in training!” joked Tomori.

“I was lucky, but I am happy with the goal, the clean sheet and the win.”
