Premier League: Livescore

FULL-TIME: ASTON VILLA 1-4 CHELSEA

Chelsea almost force a chance to hit five, but Delap is sent too far wide by another wayward Garnacho pass, so the counter-attacking opportunity comes to nothing.

Aston Villa are having one of their better spells, though it's all too late now. The crowd at Villa Park has significantly thinned out, ahead of another home defeat. It's now just one win from their last six domestic home games (D1, L4).
