Chelsea's Nightmare Continues!

Chelsea's poor performance continued on Sunday premier league action against Aston Villa when they lost 1-0 at the Stamford Bridge.

This loss leaves the blues stranded at the half bottom of the premier league table having won only one match out of the six opening fixtures of the 2023/2024 season campaign.

Although it was a tough game, some might say they could have done better since they created so many chances but failed to score. Nicolas Jackson, Mykhailo Mudryk and Raheem Sterling were left frustrated when they could not shoot past Martinez who has never lacked confidence between the goal posts.

The match went goalless at the break with Chelsea coming strong in the second half but they were reduced to ten men when Malo Gustavo was shown a red card for his tackle on Lucas Digne. The defender was initially shown a yellow card, but the referee decided to upgrade it to a red  after a VAR review.

Villa took the advantage 15 minutes later when Thiago Silva made an awful error in the middle of the field awarding the opponents the possession and they charged forward for Ollie Watkins to score his first goal of the season.

With this result comes more pressure on the blues new boss Mauricio Pochettino.

Chelsea will play Brighton on Wednesday in the league cup before travelling to play Fulham on Monday in their next premier league match.

Aston villa will host Everton on Wednesday in the EFL cup before resuming league action against Brighton on Saturday.
