Chelsea are ahead against Aston Villa! The Blues have battled back from 1-0 down and now lead 2-1. Joao Pedro has just got his second of the game.

It was another nice goal. Alejandro Garnacho has been having a good game down the left, and he was able to pick out Enzo Fernandez rushing towards the box. In potentially one of his most crucial contributions to the club in his whole time here, the midfielder held off defenders and flicked it through to JP, who lifted the ball over Emi Martinez.

You can see the goal in the clips embedded here:

Chelsea got their warning after the first goal, when a Villa second was ruled out for a fractional offside. They need to heed that warning now – don’t let the game be so open, but don’t stop attacking yet. We need another goal, and need to keep Villa on the back foot and the crowd quiet as the minutes tick by.

A huge teamtalk for Liam Rosenior is happening right now.

In other news…

JP’s first goal was a lovely one too, with Enzo Fernandez playing in Malo Gusto down the right and the Frenchman sliding the ball across the box.

Liam Rosenior took a huge gamble for this game by playing Filip Jorgensen ahead of Robert Sanchez, and we addressed that decision here.
