I prefer to think of it being another example of a good team not playing very well and yet still winning. I have an account with "The Sunday Times" and the BTL comments on the match report from Chelsea supporters mostly say that the scoreline flattered them. One even said he expected Villa to be challenging for the top six this season.....
Yep, I think 99% of Chelsea, Villa fans and neutrals would agree with the sentiments regarding yesterday’s match, if not the ‘top 6’ claim! Ultimately despite a more than decent first half in particular, poor defending and finishing cost us big time. That said, 3-0 certainly did flatter Chelsea.
