Chelsea stayed top of the Premier League with an impressive demolition job on Villa at Stamford Bridge.
Villa had gone into the game with ideas of going top of the Premier League for the first time in nearly seven years.
The Blues were dominant throughout and Joe Cole drilled home the opener after running on to Frank Lampard’s pass.
Nicolas Anelka got the second when he finished off after Brad Friedel had kept out his first effort and an initial shot from Michael Ballack.
Anelka also hit the bar, while Villa failed to seriously test Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech.
