Big opportunity for Burnley not taken!

Ezri Konsa and Wout Weghorst get in a tangle on the right, falling to the floor, Dwight McNeil hops over the pair of them and picks up the ball before driving into the box but then shoots straight at Emi Martinez.

Armando Broja has had a few chances for the Saints today but because he's in my fantasy football team he hasn't scored any of them. This 16-yard low effort is saved by David Raya.

Genuinely about three or four people who needed checks there. Anyway the goal doesn't stand - that's the most important thing.

Chelsea fans sing something rude about VAR.

John McGinn shoots from a long, long way out but Nick Pope doesn't have to move to make the save.

Five minutes to go until the break and Aston Villa are largely in control.

Chelsea's goal is ruled out for offside against Ruben Loftus-Cheek. Todd Boehly looks confused in the crowd.

OK so Antonio Rudiger is onside... but now they're checking if Ruben Loftus-Cheek was offside as Romelu Lukaku nudged the ball into his path.

Full credit to Villa; they've settled the nerves down, got the ball moving and made good forward runs. What Burnley have done is open it up, they are going for it and they've been punished.

But the fight is there. They keep coming. There could be plenty of goals here.

Was Antonio Rudiger offside as he flicked the ball on? That's what they're checking. Will this stand?

Samir nods wide from a Watford set piece. The visitors need two goals without reply to avoid being relegated today.

But there's a VAR check...

Jack Cork has a go from distance. It is well hit but Emi Martinez has it covered.

Marcos Alonso and Reece James stand over a free-kick for Chelsea and Alonso drives it into the ball. Corner and...

Boos again from the Burnley fans directed at Emi Martinez as they feel he is again wasting time with a goal kick.

The Clarets really need to get a goal back before half time.

Chelsea are playing better now and Wolves defender Romain Saiss is fouled for hauling down Christian Pulisic.

Fair play to Aston Villa, that was a really well worked goal finished off by Emiliano Buendia who now has a goal to go with his earlier assist.

Burnley fans have gone awfully quiet.

Aston Villa fans are singing 'We'll meet again, don't know when, don't know where'.

Ouch.

Mateo Kovacic clips a ball into the box for Romelu Lukaku. His close-range shot is saved by Jose Sa and the ball hits Lukaku and goes wide.

Timo Werner has a goal ruled out. The Chelsea striker nudges over Romain Saiss as he runs onto Christian Pulisic's through ball before rifling home.

The whistle immediately goes. For once Werner had timed his run perfectly too!
