Aston Villa crashed to a 2-1 defeat against Chelsea in the Premier League yesterday.
Kortney Hause had given the home side a well-deserved lead towards the end of the first half but Chelsea got back into the game during the second half, around the hour mark.
Christian Pulisic scored the equalizer for Frank Lampard’s side and Olivier Giroud gave them the lead two minutes later.
The win puts Chelsea firmly in control of the top four race whereas Aston Villa’s chances of beating the drop have now taken a massive hit.
Dean Smith’s men are now 19th in the league table and they will have to win most of their remaining games to stay up.
