Sensational! Aston Villa match record winning streak after 111 years

Chelsea suffered a narrow home defeat to Aston Villa in the latest round of the Premier League, despite initially taking the lead.

The first half was entirely dominated by Chelsea, with João Pedro’s goal a natural outcome of their pressure. But after the break, the visitors completely transformed their game, not only leveling the score but snatching victory in dramatic fashion. The turning point was the introduction of Ollie Watkins, who netted a brace and became the first player in Premier League history to score the decisive goal at Stamford Bridge on three separate occasions.
