Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Chelsea FC gets underway.
  • 5' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 10' Supporters expect more eagerness from Tyrone Mings, as he is very good at scoring at Villa Park with 7 goals in the last 6 games.
  • 15' Aston Villa FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 20' Douglas Luiz needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 54 Yellow cards this season.
  • 25' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Aston Villa FC and Chelsea FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 28' The England Reece James breaks the deadlock on 28 minutes. 1-0!
  • 33' Controversy at the stadium! Emiliano Martinez argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 34' Goal! Jorginho scores his 37 goal in 412 matches.
  • 39' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 44' Danny Ings has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 46' Another substitution for Chelsea FC to replace Trevoh Chalobah by Romelu Lukaku on 46 minute.
  • 51' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 52' Andreas Christensen is replacing Thiago Silva for the Chelsea FC side.
  • 56' GOAL! Romelu Lukaku scores on 56. Assisted by Callum Hudson-Odoi
  • 61' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Chelsea FC that had 412 games and scored 663 goals.
  • 63' Mateo Kovacic is ready to make an impact after coming on for N'Golo Kante at the 63 minute mark.
  • 65' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Tyrone Mings.
  • 70' Marcos Alonso catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 70.
  • 73' Bertrand Traore is replacing Danny Ings for the Aston Villa FC side.
  • 74' Carney Chukwuemeka is ready to make an impact after coming on for Emiliano Buendia at the 74 minute mark.
  • 76' Time for substitution for Aston Villa FC. Morgan Sanson is replaced by Anwar El Ghazi.
  • 81' It looks like no one’s ball. Chelsea FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 86' Emiliano Martinez has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 90' The referee has no hesitation. Ezri Konsa is booked for Aston Villa FC — Yellow card on 90.
  • It finishes all square. Aston Villa FC and Chelsea FC share the spoils 1-3.
