Chelsea lose 2-0 at home to Aston Villa as Thomas Tuchel’s Bayern thrash Dortmund

Chelsea’s struggles in the Premier League this season continued as the Blues were beaten 2-0 at home to Aston Villa on Saturday.

Goals from Ollie Watkins and John McGinn, one in each half, gave Unai Emery’s side an impressive victory at Stamford Bridge and increased the pressure on Chelsea manager Graham Potter.

Potter’s side had won two and drawn the other in their last three Premier League matches in a recent revival, but this defeat means the Blues have claimed all three points in just four of their 14 fixtures in the Premier League since the World Cup break.

Tuchel was sacked by Chelsea owner Todd Boehly in September, citing a lack of a ‘shared vision’ with the German.
