Right, it’s time for me to wrap up here. It was good fun that, in the end, and tees up Villa’s trip to Arsenal perfectly. Here’s Jacob Steinberg’s match report. And with that, adiós.
Watkins is beamed into the Sky Sports studio to talk about his match-winning performance. “Amazing, amazing,” he says of Villa’s comeback. “Obviously, for me personally, to come on and score two goals is a great feeling, but to keep up this run, to come away here and beat Chelsea at a tough place is, like I said, amazing.”
Asked about Emery’s decision not to start him, he says: “He changed it because Chelsea were going man for man, but they had the extra centre-back when we were going long. So when I came on in the second half he brought Sancho on the wing and Morgan [Rogers]. I think that gave us a bit more space, with Youri [Tielemans] in the No 10, so we had an extra body up there. Tactical genius.”
