Ratings & Reactions: Chelsea v Villa

[MrBlack]

Martinez motm, but we still deserved to win.  

[Awol]

Get in. Brilliant for Watkins to get off the mark, Kamara back to his best. Love it. 

[ChicagoVillan1983]

Referee an absolute joke all around. Terrible. Also 11 mins added on, how in TF...

Solid play by us. Chelsea rarely looked threatening. Pau is really figuring out this premier league malarkey.

[StefanAVFC]

Brilliant win. 
 

but Jesus how many more times can the ref be this shit?

he got the two big decisions right but neither of those were really his doing. He got almost everything else wrong.

[AVTuco]

Gave it to Pau. He was excellent, as was Emi and Konsa.

[Adman]

Only caught about half the game but the officiating was mind-blowingly bad

[VillaParkAvenue]

Emi was incredible. Konsa and Kamara bounced back and were good too. Fine tactical performance and nice to get an away win for once!

[The_Steve]

Top goal from Ollie today. I do think the high line does carry risks but we looked far more controlled at the back in the second half. Sanchez stops this being a bigger win. Dibu made some big saves too. 
 

Bouba and Dougie were imperious today.
 

Very impressed with Zaniolo again. And Dhuran is just getting better and better. 
 

Great to see JJ back.

 

UTV. 

[Icarium]

Good win for us, Martinez mom. Special mention to digne for getting kicked from pillar to post and still getting through the game

[Rodders]

terrific result. Getting the results even when players often struggling for form, slow is good. Delighted. But we need to start halves better. When we get punished in those moments we lose games. Mercifully didn't happen today, but enough of that for now, going to enjoy the win. Big match with Brighton next week!

Great win despite not playing at our best.

Dear lord that ref performance was abysmal. Only thing he got right was when VAR sent him to the line to give that red.

Great win, gritty performance against one of the worst refereeing performances of the 21st century... and Chelsea. 

[Marka Ragnos]

[TheAuthority]

2 fine goalkeeping displays. Martinez saved us at least twice.

The Chel$ki keeper made 3 top class saves.

[PaulC]

Tough watch but its 3 points and thats all that matters. 

[fightoffyour]

Great result away from home but only really what we have to do against bottom half opposition such as Chelsea, especially with 10 men.

[Thug]

Gave it to Luiz in a rush, but I should’ve given it to Martinez

Think a few of those minutes were the ones he forgot about at the end of the first half, lol.
