Richard H: SAUL JUST GAVE IT AWAY AGAIN! And yet again it left Villa running in at the backline. Of course its his first game. But that doesn't mean he gets a pass for being poor. #BBCFOOTBALL

Saul Niguez gives the ball away and almost allows Villa a chance on the counter but Ollie Watkins is hauled over by Thiago Silva.
Experienced defending that, Chelsea can regroup.

Further brilliance from Edouard Mendy, keeping out Tyrone Mings' shot and then reacting to push away Ezri Konsa's follow up.
The Chelsea goalkeeper is having a stormer so far.

Second most passes by a Chelsea player and most duels in the game so far from Saul.

Saul Niguez intercepts the ball on the edge of the area and then sweeps it out to a team-mate.
That's what he is in there to do, clearing up the mess.

Mahesh: Saul is being too lax in the midfield. Wake up mate this is the Premier League.

Shoooot!
Aston Villa have a golden opportunity to equalise as the ball drops in the box for Ollie Watkins.
He wants too much time, putting Eduoard Mendy on his backside and then his scuffed effort is blocked by Thiago Silva.

Brilliant from Romelu Lukaku, coming deep by outmuscling Axel Tuanzebe and flicking a header on.
But Kai Havertz cannot control the ball on this occasion.
Lukaku proving a handful already.

Villa nearly respond immediately but Chelsea number one Edouard Mendy makes a stunning, reaction save, diving low to his right to keep out Ollie Watkins' drive.
The opportunity came following excellent work once more by Jacob Ramsey.

Ben: The assist from Kovacic was just as good as that goal.
GOAL - Chelsea 1-0 Aston Villapublished at 15 mins
Romelu Lukaku
Never looked like missing.
Chelsea break the deadlock after quarter of an hour but it is all about Mateo Kovacic, breaking up the play and sliding a precise pass through to Romelu Lukaku.
The Belgium international cuts inside of Axel Tuanzebe and sweeps home his first goal at Stamford Bridge. Ever.
That was too easy for the Blues.
