Graham Potter has refused to demand a 'striker like Didier Drogba or Diego Costa' from the board following Chelsea's defeat to Aston Villa. The Blues boss faces an increasingly uncertain future at Stamford Bridge, with the west London outfit now in the bottom-half of the Premier League.
Ollie Watkins put the visitors ahead inside the opening 20 minutes after latching on to a misplaced header from Marc Cucurella. He capitalised on the Spaniard's mistake before looping the ball over Kepa Arrizabalaga, who was rooted to the spot.
Then, shortly into the second-half, John McGinn doubled Villa's lead by beating the Chelsea shot-stopper with a great strike from range. Despite the west London outift's defensive frailties, the home side had their fair shares of chances; Mykhailo Mudryk fluffed his lines on a couple of occasions and Ben Chilwell also had a goal ruled out for an adjudged foul on Ashley Young.
