Former Chelsea midfielder Joe Cole has praised Reece James after his outstanding performance against Juventus on Tuesday night.

The Blues right wing-back netted his side's second goal of the game in the 4-0 win against the Serie A side, with Trevoh Chalobah, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Timo Werner also scoring for the reigning European Champions.

His strike on Tuesday night was his fifth goal of the season, taking his goal contribution tally up to ten so far in just 14 games.

Cole commented on the 21-year-old's standout performance on Tuesday, continuing his fine run of form as of late.

"Take the goal out of it, everything about his game was perfect."

Chelsea's win means they are now top of their Champions League group, overtaking Juventus to go into first place. They have also now secured qualification for the knockout stages of the competition.
