Chelsea BEATEN at home by Villa! Ollie Watkins' delightful opener and second-half stunner from John McGinn secure 2-0 win to pile the pressure on under-fire Graham Potter - as struggling Blues drop into the bottom half of the table

The respite for Graham Potter, has not lasted long. If he thought he had seen the back of it he was sadly mistaken.

Those three successive pressure-easing wins which suggested a corner has been turned are already a distant memory, even though the last of them was just a few weeks ago.

A frustrating draw against Everton after conceding a last-minute equaliser before the international break followed by this desperate home defeat to Aston Villa have quickly wiped away that early March optimism.

Chelsea were booed off by some at half-time and all who remained at full-time, the volume of them significantly cranked up following Andrew Madley's final whistle.
