The most interesting thing in the 1st half happened in the 44th minute when Axel Disasi scored, but the referees ruled it out due to offside, and Chelsea failed to take the lead at the end of the first half.
The 2nd half started in the worst possible way for the Blues as Malo Gusto received a direct red card in the 58th minute for roughing.
Aston Villa took advantage of the situation and started to control the match. That paid off as the Villians took the lead at Stamford Bridge as Ollie Watkins scored in the 73rd minute from an impossible angle.
Emery’s side had the chance to double their lead in the 80th minute, but Moussa Diaby’s shot was saved by Sanchez.
