Assisted by Timo Werner.Unai Emery’s Aston Villa have continued their impressive form on the road with a composed 2-0 victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Ollie Watkins opened the scoring from a Marc Cucurella blunder, latching on to the Chelsea defender’s backwards header to poke home, before John McGinn’s second-half rocket put the game out of reach for the home side. It was a familiar tale for Chelsea, who squandered chance after chance as Villa exploited their weakness on the counter-attack. The result means Villa have now picked up 16 points away from home since Emery took over in October, equalled only by Manchester City in that time. The win moves Villa up to ninth in the table, one point off Liverpool in eighth, while Chelsea drop into 11th.
