Chelsea sunk to a new low on Saturday as the side dropped into the bottom half of the Premier League table with a 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa. Former Arsenal boss Unai Emery oversaw the victory for the away side at Stamford Bridge as Ollie Watkins pounced on a defensive error from the Blues.
John McGinn then doubled the lead with a long-range effort as the home crowd were left bemoaning missed chances and backline mistakes. The result has only added extra pressure to manager Graham Potter, who would've been forgiven for thinking his side had turned a corner after registering three wins on the bounce across all competitions last month.
"I understand when you lose at home that the emotion of the game that people are going to be disappointed and frustrated and angry," the head coach told the press after the game. "Where we are in the league table, no one is happy with. Whatever criticism comes, I have to accept."
