Azpilicueta 8/10, Pulisic 7/10 as Chelsea beat Villa, solidify their hold on fourth

Of the four teams chasing Chelsea for a place in the top four, Wolverhampton Wanderers were the only ones to take all three points this weekend. Therefore, the Blues will see their 2-1 victory over Aston Villa as a massive result towards solidifying their top-four position.

They were so comfortable throughout the opening period but, surprisingly, found themselves 1-0 down at the break, after a goal from Kortney Hause in the 43rd minute. Douglas Luiz whipped in in a deep cross, which Chelsea failed to deal with adequately, allowing the Villa centre-back to prod home for his first ever Premier League goal.
