Chelsea extended their unbeaten run in the Premier League to five games and retained their status as underdogs in the title race with a comfortable 3-0 win over Aston Villa on Sunday.

The Blues were worthy winners as they dominated from the moment Nicolas Jackson gave them the lead in the seventh minute when he beat Emiliano Martinez at the near post from Marc Cucurella’s low cross. However, Robert Sanchez had to attack to prevent Ollie Watkins from scoring the equalizer as the England striker pushed towards goal after shrugging off Wesley Fofana.

At the other end, Jackson and Cole Palmer were denied by Martinez from close range, but Enzo Maresca’s side doubled their lead before half-time when Enzo Fernandez exchanged passes with Palmer on the edge of the Villa penalty area before firing a superb outside shot. Strike with your foot.

After the break, the home side struggled to create many clear-cut opportunities until Palmer provided the icing on the cake with a superb shot from 20 meters as the game entered its final stages.
