Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink was frustrated with Mykhailo Mudryk's early substitution after a missed chance, saying "he had so much time!"

Mykhailo Mudryk was replaced early in the second-half after former Chelsea striker Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink criticised him for failing to capitalize on a golden opportunity against Aston Villa. Despite Mateo Kovacic providing a great ball through, Mudryk attempted to take on a first-time effort but failed to find the target. Hasselbaink felt he should have passed to teammate Kai Havertz, suggesting the Ukrainian was 'not used' to getting into one-on-one positions.

Despite the setback, Graham Potter made a positive change by hauling Mudryk off before the hour mark, replacing him with Noni Madueke. Chelsea caused their own problems with Cucurella's failed attempt to head clear freeing Watkins for his goal, with Koulibaly seemingly better placed to deal with the through ball.

Victory for Aston Villa will see them leapfrog Chelsea in the table and move into ninth place - a much-needed positive change for the club.
