Chelsea lead 2-0 at Villa Park, and you can’t say they don’t deserve it.
This time it was the returning Nicolas Jackson who has got on the scoresheet to concrete an impressive start from the Blues.
Noni Madueke burst down the right and played in Malo Gusto, who delivered a great cross.
Ben Chilwell’s presence at the far post took Matty Cash away from Jackson, who still had a tough task to head home a ball which he had to control into the corner on the run.
