Chelsea 3 Aston Villa 0 - player ratings

Emi Martinez

Conceded twice before going off injured at the break and almost gifted the hosts a couple more. Not his finest 45 minutes.

Lapses 5

Matty Cash

Got a bit unlucky with the opener when the ball flicked off his boot and sat up perfectly for Jackson. Not too many chances to get forward.

Quiet 6

Ezri Konsa

Back in the team following injury but joined in with the errors when he allowed a long ball to escape him in the second half.

Error 5

Pau Torres

Rushed on the ball at times in the first half. Made some good tackles as well. Came close to scoring a late consolation in stoppage time.

Hurried 5

Lucas Digne

There were long spells you forgot Pedro Neto was on the pitch, which is a compliment to the left-back. Didn’t get forward much at all.

Steady 6

Boubacar Kamara

Deserved to keep his place in the team after his performance against Juventus but he found it much tougher here in a match which far more pace.

Battled 6

Youri Tielemans

Villa’s best player in the opening two months of the season is experiencing his own sticky patch. Caught on the ball too many times.

Sluggish 5

Jaden Philogene

Caught out for the opener and always looked a beat behind the action. Got a deserved booking for a rather embarrassing dive which summed up his day.

Lost 5

Morgan Rogers

Struggling to get anywhere close to the heights he was hitting at the start of the season. Taken off midway through the second half.

Tired 5

John McGinn 

Tried to get Villa motoring but to no avail. Set up Watkins’ early chance with a neat ball over the top but was then denied himself in the second half.

Tried 6

Ollie Watkins

Will feel he should have scored at least one but shot weakly at Sanchez early on before then being denied by a sharp stop.

Misses 5
