Chelsea fans are falling in love with their new striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang after his performance in the side's 3-0 win over AC Milan in the Champions League on October 5.

The Blues dominated the clash at Stamford Bridge and played with a real attacking rhythm. Aubameyang put in his best performance in a Chelsea shirt.

Graham Potter's side scored the first goal in the 24th minute, when Wesley Fofana got on the end of a loose ball in the box to place past goalkeeper Ciprian Tătăruşanu.

Aubameyang scored the second, whose brilliant off-the-ball movement saw him get on the end of a Reece James cross in the 56th minute. James then got himself on the scoresheet with a powerful strike past Tătăruşanu as the Blues roared to victory.

Aubameyang may have only had one shot on the night but it was enough to take his tally to two goals in three appearances for the west Londoners.

The Gabonese striker arrived at Stamford Bridge from Barcelona on deadline day in the summer for a fee of around £10 million. Chelsea needed goals and his start to life in Blue bodes well.

Here are some reactions from fans to the striker's performance against Milan on Wednesday night:

Aubameyang spoke to BT Sport after the game where he touched on the performance from his side:

"It was not an easy game because I think they played well in the first half. But then we kept the intensity really high and we were dominant and confident."

The Gabonese striker was then asked if he was enjoying his time at Stamford Bridge:

"Yes, definitely , yes I'm feeling good. I was very welcomed by all the teammates and all the staff."

He then explained how the first goal was vital in sending the Blues on their way to a comfortable 3-0 win:

"I think the first goal was really important and gave us some strength and like I said confidence to play the game. We knew we had to against Milan as they have great strikers. I think the defenders did an incredible job."

Next up for Potter's side is the visit of Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League as they look to continue their winning momentum.
