Aston Villa 2 – 1 Chelsea happymamay

Aston Villa came from the back to overcome Chelsea 2-1 at home thanks to a double in the second half of Marco Asensio, with Marcus Rashford provided all assistance.

Chelsea advanced early when Enzo Fernandez (9) took advantage of the Pedro Nito Cross – but the game will change when Rashford climbed on the field.

The Manchester United loan replaced Jacob Ramsey at the end of the first half, and it will not take long before the outstretched leg folded the ball to his new teammate ASENSIO to open his score in Claret and Blue (57).

The momentum was with the host team after the tie and the same duo was the one who was associated with the winner in the 89th minute, where the efforts of Asensio pressed under the body of Filip Jorgensen after another pass from Rashford.

The duo were brought to the club in temporary deals in the transfer window in January, but now he is looking to find their feet in the Unai Emery team, where their efforts were a villa to one point from Chelsea in sixth place, which missed the opportunity to enter the first four.

Asensio praises Rashford Impact

Aston Villa forward Marco Asensio Talk to Sky Sports:

“We know Marcus’s quality. It helps us a lot. We are very happy. Thank you also to Marcus for my help!

“I am very happy. The atmosphere here is incredible. I want to thank all the fans for this effort, and we do it together. We have to continue. I am very happy with the goal and victory. We know today was an important day.

“UNai trusts me and this is very important for the player forward.”

Rednab: Rashford is the new hero of the end!

Sky Sports’ Jamie Redknap:

“This branch has caused all the difference. It was great. The end of Holt has a new hero.

“Rashford came, gave energy, enthusiasm, and everything we wanted to see from him. Running, desire … was excellent. He gave them this motivation to put Chelsea on the back foot.

“This is the way the transport window is doing [with Asensio and Rashford]. These are Masterclass. You look at other clubs and how they did not attend the players.

“I am sure that there are football managers all over the world and their head in their hands now thinking,” Why didn’t I get Marcus Rashford? “

“I got doubts. I would have been concerned about doing it. But it seems that Villa has performed great works.

“I am happy with it. It was difficult. Don’t understand me wrongly, there are elements that he should have done better, I should have tried more difficult. But he certainly found a place he loves, a good environment. Really. A good part of the works of Aston Villa.”
