Conor Gallagher’s long-range effort earned Chelsea a 2-2 draw at Aston Villa, who suffered a blow in their race for the top four
Mauricio Pochettino criticised Chelsea’s soft centre after a bruising defeat in midweek but they showed some mettle to bounce back from a two-goal deficit and earn a creditable draw at. Noni Madueke dragged Chelsea back into the contest soon after the hour before Conor Gallagher, seemingly inspired by the captain’s armband, located the top corner with a beautiful strike with nine minutes of normal time to play.
Petrovic was fishing the ball out of his net again on 42 minutes as Rogers squeezed a shot inside the Chelsea goalkeeper’s near post to deepen the misery for Pochettino. Rogers picked up Matty Cash’s pass on the edge of the box, jinked inside Chalobah and sent a precise strike through the legs of the defender and into the bottom corner.
