Aston Villa 0 Chelsea 1: Chelsea launch a lovely counter attack that ends when Kenedy's attempts to buy a cheap free kick are turned down. Then Ayew comes close of Villa, but his placed effort is just wide of the far post. Five minutes or so left in the half.

Aston Villa 0 Chelsea 1: Ooof, Loftus-Cheek comes close to a second, nearly curling a low shot into the corner of the net, but it's just wide.
