Robert Sanchez (7/10):
Could have sat down with a cup of tea for much of the contest but when he was called upon, the Spaniard had a very impressive game, making saves galore. It all proved in vain, though.
Reece James (7/10):
The skipper was back in at right-back for this one, after starring in midfield in recent weeks, but it made no difference as he was a force to be reckoned with in the first half. But even he could not single-handedly guide his team to victory.
Benoit Badiashile (5/10):
Was handed a rare Premier League start and largely dealt well with Donyell Malen but his wayward pass was pounced upon by Villa and seconds later it was 1-1. May not get many more opportunities in the Chelsea backline as a result.
Trevoh Chalobah (5/10):
The defender was relatively untroubled for the first 60 minutes, but, crucially, he was pipped to the post by Watkins for Villa's equaliser. From thereon in, he struggled with the irresistible England forward.
Marc Cucurella (6/10):
The curly-haired Spanish international was here, there, and everywhere in the opening 45 but when Villa came alive, he was repeatedly caught out of position.
