Villa Fight Back to Sink Chelsea at Stamford Bridge
Aston Villa came from behind to claim a 2-1 Premier League victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, continuing their strong recent record in west London.
Chelsea started brightly and took the lead in the 37th minute when João Pedro got a vital touch from a Reece James corner.
Cole Palmer and Moisés Caicedo both went close as the hosts controlled much of the first half.
Villa improved after the break and were rewarded when Ollie Watkins bundled in an equaliser after his initial effort rebounded off Robert Sánchez.
The striker then struck again late on, heading home in the 84th minute to complete the turnaround.
The win keeps Villa within three points of the league leaders, while Chelsea suffer a first defeat in four matches and remain fifth.
