Both  Jayon Brown Jersey sides started off decently well, but it was Nyland who made the first notable save in the 21st minute, as he plunged to his left to parry Mounts effort from 25 yards out.Chelsea dominated for the first half-hour, but Villa managed to get their first chance in the 32nd minute, when El Ghazi forced a diving save out of Kepa from range.A minute later, El Ghazi found McGinn with a cro s, but the Scotsmans glancing header went wide.Despite creating a good number of chances, Chelsea failed to score. They were punished by Villa in the 43rd minute. Grealish held it up for Luiz, who found El Ghazi with a beautiful cro s. Though Kepa saved the Dutchmans shot, Hause was able to bundle it home, and give the hosts a ma sively important lead.Chelsea continued to dominate on the other side of half-time, and they finally equalised in the 61st minute. Azpilicueta delivered a delicious cro s which found Pulisic arriving at the far post, and the American managed to side-foot it in off the bar.And a minute later, Azpilicueta was darting down the left. His low cro s found Giroud, who had his back to the goal. But, the Frenchman managed to turn and get a shot away, and it went in after a deflection, taking Chelsea in front.Villa had a good chance in the 68th minute, when Hause glanced Hourihanes free-kick with his head, but it went just wide.Chelsea tested Nyland from range a couple of times, but failed to beat him.Villa had a good chance in the 88th minute, when a lapse of concentration from Christensen allowed Jota to shoot with his first touch, but the Spaniard dragged his shot wide.So, the final score at Villa Park saw the visitors win 1-2.Tactics:Villa allowed Chelsea to come at them from the wings, as they tried to defend Chelseas cro ses, and then hit them on the break. They hoped that the likes of Grealish and El Ghazi would be able to earn some set-pieces in advanced positions.Chelsea kept a lot of po se sion, and they looked to work the ball wide, mainly to the right wing, and then drill cro ses in through Willian, Kovai and Mount at times. This caused lots of problems  Corey Davis Jersey for Targett, who was completely overloaded.Ratings:Aston Villarjan Nyland  Looked great in goal as he made a few good saves, but wasnt overly convincing initially. 6.75Ezri Konsa  Did very little in defence and attack, and didnt have a major impact. 4.5Tyrone Mings  Good in defence, as he made a lot of interceptions and challenges in his efforts to thwart Chelseas attacks. 6.75Kortney Hause  Made quite a few clearances at the back Kamalei Correa Jersey , and scored the all-important opener too. 7.25Matt Targett  Was left alone against upto 3 people down the left, and he did his best to hold out. 5.75Conor Hourihane  Looked alright in midfield, and his set-piece deliveries were good too. 6Douglas Luiz  Good in holding midfield, and did well in the build-up to the first goal too. 6.25John McGinn  Not bad in the middle, but he had no impact at either end. 5Anwar El Ghazi  Worked hard down the left as he tried to create a couple of chances on the counter, but didnt help defensively. 6Keinan Davis  Didnt have too much to do in terms of attack, but he was really strong in the air. 6Jack Grealish  Was all over the pitch in this match. Drew a lot of fouls to give his defence some much-needed respite and usual, dropped very deep to help his side as well and he held on to the ball well, such as in the build-up to the opener. 7.5Subs:Mbwana Samatta  No impact off the bench. 4.25Marvelous Nakamba  Unlike what his name suggests, he was not marvellous. 4.75Trzguet  Didnt do anything after coming on. 4.5Team  Villa defended very well in the first half, and were rather lucky to get a lead before the break. There was more defending on their part in the second half, but after conceding twice in 105 seconds, they had little to offer in attack. They showed good fight and character, but their second half performance let them down. Maybe things could have been different if Villa Park had its 12th man. 5.75ChelseaKepa Arrizabalaga  Arguably could have done better to prevent the goal, but was decent otherwise. 6Csar Azpilicueta  His cro ses were sub-par for most of the match, but he ended up with 2 a sists from 2 good balls. 6.75Andreas Christensen  Got a clean sheet, but he was switched off one or two Ryan Tannehill Jersey  times. 6Antonio Rdiger  Had little to do defensively, but he defended the Villa counter-attacks well.. 6.5Marcos Alonso  Decent down the left, but he lacked end-product. 6.25Mateo Kovai  Alright in midfield, but he failed to have an impact at either end. 5.75NGolo Kant  Good in holding midfield, and his distribution was decent. Used some interesting methods to keep Grealish in check as well. 6.5Mason Mount  Drifted to the right often, as he helped Willian and Kovai overload that flank. His shots and cro ses were threatening too. 6.75Willian  Looked threatening down the right, as he delivered some dangerous cro ses. 6.5Olivier Giroud  Rather contained for most of the match, but he got a brilliant goal after a great turn to give his side the lead. 6.5Ruben Loftus-Cheek  Alright down the left, but he failed to have a major impact in attack. 5.25Subs:Christian Pulisic  Off the bench and on to the score-sheet with his first shot. Looked good thereafter too. 6.25Ro s Barkley  Alright in the middle after he came on, but he didnt have a ma sive impact. 5Team  Chelsea dominated from start to finish, and enjoyed nearly three quarters of the po se sion. They were very unfortunate to go behind before the break, but they did well to fight back, and eventually managed to break Villa down. Deserved victory for them overall. 6.25Refereeaul Tierney got his calls right, as he had a relatively simple day. 7. Delanie Walker Jersey 25What This Means:Villa stay 19th, and remain 2 points away from safety.Chelsea also hold position, as they remain in 4th place, 3 points away from Leicester, and 5 clear of United.
