    Jores Okore goes from goal-scoring hero to villain as his failure to clear leads to a Chelsea goal. He is down on the ground and kicks half-heartedly at the loose ball inside the area and Cesar Azpilicueta is on it in a flash, scooping a cross for Branislav Ivanovic to volley home.

    Didier Drogba has been pretty anonymous in this game and Jose Mourinho decides it is time to make a change, taking off the veteran striker and bringing on Loic Remy.

    Aston Villa seem to have a new lease of life after getting that all important goal and they are snapping at the Chelsea players, not letting them stay in possession for long and closing them down at every opportunity. The crowd respond with shouts of encouragement. Could they, possibly, get another goal?

    Willian has another pop from distance, his shot lacks real power but skips along the ground and towards the post but drifts just wide, to the relief of Brad Guzan.

    "Paul Lambert now has to make sure his team do not come off the pace and stay on the front foot. Chelsea have not been brilliant today. They have looked leggy and tired. Villa have made a brilliant start to this second half."

    "We score when we want" is the chant from the Villa fans after they finally end their Premier League goal drought, just seconds before it would have hit the 11-hour mark. It is fair to say that Jores Okore's header was greeted with wild celebration all around the ground and it has certainly brought the home supporters to life.

    "I have to say, I wouldn't like to hear what Jose Mourinho has to say about his defenders. Three of them all misjudged the flight of the ball completely. It was a good ball in, but it's missed all the Chelsea defence and it's allowed the Villa centre-half to get round the back and nod it into an almost empty net. Mourinho will not be happy at all."

    Jose Mourinho has not once let a smile creep onto his face and it is perhaps clear to see why. Chelsea have been far from convincing and were punished for a lapse in concentration. Willian tries to respond with a drive from the edge of the area, but drags it wide.

    "Great skill on the right by Gil. He left the defender for dead and lifted it into an area, just hoping someone would be there. Lo and behold, someone was!"

    So big was that goal that Jores Okore celebrated with real vigour. Too much for the referee, and he is booked for his excessive celebrations.

    "I have got to say I have been impressed by Carles Gil, he's got a trick, he's very nippy, and he moves the ball past Oscar before standing it up at the far post. Jores Okore got a free header and nods it down into the ground. A great start to the second half from Villa."

    Would you believe it! Aston Villa fans finally have something to cheer about as Aston Villa score. I repeat, Aston Villa score. Great work by Carles Gil as he makes space for a cross from the right and Jores Okore is there to head in. Villa fans rub their eyes with disbelief.

    This is better! Aston Villa are straight on the attack and Andreas Weimann hits a first-time effort over the bar. Probably their best move, and chance, of the game.

    Great 'banter' from the Aston Villa fans, they've brought along pictures of arrows to show their side where the goal is.

    Chris Riley: Didier Drogba looks like a shadow of his former self. Useless today. Should have rewarded Loic Remy with a start.

    Matthew Vins: I think the only way for Aston Villa to generate a goal threat is to get Martin Laursen back.

    Chelsea FC 9ja: Drogba doing more harm than good at the moment. In other news, Manchester City are one goal behind...

    "You cannot fault Aston Villa's effort, and they are still playing at a decent tempo, but they have never looked like opening Chelsea up. The Premier League leaders are yet to get going, but their lead at the break is a comfortable one."

    Jose Mourinho

    It is now 657 minutes since Aston Villa last scored a Premier League goal. In that time, Jose Mourinho has pocketed around £11,000.

    In fact, since this game got under way, he has earned just over £750. If, like me, you are working, then we have pocketed a little over two quid in the same time.
