Aston Villa beat Chelsea 2-1 at Villa Park as Marco Asensio scores a brace for the team after a costly blunder from Blues keeper Filip Jorgensen on Saturday.
However, Asensio, who signed on loan from Paris Saint-Germain earlier in February, netted after the interval when his goal was initially disallowed for offside before being given by VAR.
Enzo Fernandez’s quick-fire opener put Chelsea ahead at Villa Park in a battle between top four hopefuls chasing qualification for next season’s Champions League.

The former Real Madrid forward followed his equaliser with Villa’s last-gasp winner as his shot squirmed past Jorgensen’s woeful attempted save. It was the latest goalkeeping calamity for Chelsea this season after Jorgensen replaced the even more error-prone Robert Sanchez.
Chelsea have been beaten four times in their last five games in all competitions, leaving them one point adrift of the top four in sixth place.
Seventh-placed Villa, who held leaders Liverpool to a hard-fought 2-2 draw in midweek, are one point behind Chelsea thanks to a result that rekindled their own top-four ambitions.
In last week’s 3-0 loss at Brighton, Chelsea failed to muster a single shot on target for the first time in a league match since 2021.

In conclusion, Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca was so frustrated that he branded it the “worst performance” of his first season in charge.
