Chelsea are up to third in the Premier League table after swatting aside Aston Villa 3-0 at Stamford Bridge.
First-half goals from Nicolas Jackson and Enzo Fernandez put the hosts 2-0 up at half-time.
Since the start of May, only Erling Haaland (18) has scored more goals in the Premier League than Jackson (12), while only Chris Wood (7) has opened the scoring in more games than his six.
Outside of a chance for Ollie Watkins in the first half, Aston Villa rarely threatened the Chelsea goal. They have now failed to score in four of their last five games in all competitions.
Cole Palmer curled in a spectacular third in the 83rd minute to put the gloss on the performance. Palmer has been directly involved in 47 goals in the Premier League for Chelsea (30 goals, 17 assists); the most of any player in the competition since his league debut for the club.
This win saw Chelsea move up to third in the Premier League, at least temporarily. For Villa, they are now winless in their last eight matches in all competitions (D3 L5), their longest winless run in all competitions under Unai Emery.
