Chelsea came from behind to stage an impressive 2 – 1 win vs Aston Villa as Olivier Giroud’s winner consolidated their place in the Premier League’s top four on Sunday.
Frank Lampard’s side were rocked when Kortney Hause put Villa ahead against the run of play in the first half.
But Christian Pulisic came off the bench to equalise after the break before Giroud bagged his fourth club goal of the season two minutes later.
The victory could prove crucial for the fourth-placed Blues, who move five points clear of Manchester United and Wolves in fifth and sixth respectively, in the race for a top-four finish.
Meanwhile, the defeat is another blow to Aston Villa’s chances of staying in the top-flight. Dean Smith’s side remain in the relegation zone, one point adrift of safety.
