Aston Villa - Chelsea 2:1

Aston Villa staged a remarkable comeback to defeat Chelsea 2-1 at Villa Park, ending their five-match winless streak in the process. The hero of the day was Marco Asensio, whose brace turned the game around after Enzo Fernández had given Chelsea an early lead.

Chelsea started brightly, with Fernández opening the scoring in the first half. However, Villa responded with determination, and Asensio's two goals—one in each half—sealed a crucial victory for the hosts. The win not only lifted Villa's spirits but also saw them draw level on points with Chelsea, who sit sixth in the Premier League table. Villa now has 42 points, just one behind the Blues.
