Graham Potter – again – faces an increasingly uncertain future at Chelsea following a 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa. The Blues have now slipped into the bottom half of the table and any hope of clinching a European qualification place via the Premier League looks out of sight with ten games left to play.
Ollie Watkins put the Villans ahead inside the opening 20 minutes after latching on to a misplaced header from Marc Cucurella. The England international capitalised on the Spaniard's mistake and proceed to lob Kepa Arrizabalaga, who was rooted to the spot.
However, Watkins could have very easily put Villa ahead moments earlier had he not dragged his effort wide. Chelsea had their fair shares of chances; Mykhailo Mudryk scuppered a pair of big chances and Ben Chilwell had a goal chalked off for an adjudged foul on Ashley Young in the build-up.
