Watkins! Villa Have Done It Again! As Chelsea Bottle It

A Frustratingly Amazing Night at Stamford Bridge

What a frustratingly amazing match this turned out to be.

For sixty minutes, Aston Villa were nowhere to be seen. Chelsea overwhelmed us in every area, moving the ball quicker, winning second balls, and pinning us back. We were fortunate they only scored the one gaol, because it easily could have been more. Villa were hanging on, outplayed and outpaced, waiting for something, anything, to change.

Then the real Aston Villa turned up.
