Premier League result: Ollie Watkins and John McGinn score as Aston Villa defeat Chelsea following a mid-table battle at Stamford Bridge

Chelsea 0-2 Aston Villa.

Boos from the home fans greet the final whistle.

Digne, who has only just come off the bench, picks up a quick-fire caution.

Potter's men have had over 25 shots but have once again not been clinical.

James is short with a back pass that almost gifts the visitors a third but Kepa does well to avert the danger. Not that it will change the result now.

Five minutes added.

Digne on.

Dendoncker on.

Villa are on the verge of going five league matches without defeat for the first time since December 2020.

Chambers booked for delaying tactics.

Chelsea 25-5 Villa.

McGinn's industry down the right presents an opening for Bailey, but his 25-yarder fizzes wide of the far post.

Pulisic on.

Gallagher on.

Kante has another tame shot inside the area blocked before Kovacic lashes a first-time strike over the bar.

Villa will climb up to ninth place in the table, just two points shy of the European places. Chelsea will be three points further back and drop to 11th.

Bailey on.

It could and probably should be 3-0 but Ramsey fluffs his liens when sent clear on Kepa. It's probably the only thing the youngster has done wrong today. He's been very good.

Time is running out for Chelsea to snare a lifeline.
