Do you think Axel Disasi's goal was rightly disallowed?

🟣 Why were Aston Villa so passive?
💷 Is this the kind of bench £1.2bn buys you?

Jacob Tanswell & Simon Johnson dissect the key talking points from #AVFC 2-2 #CFC ⬇️

FT: #AVFC 2-2 Chelsea

VAR comes to Villa's rescue at the end to come away with a point. The fact Villa were 2-0 up at half time shows how oddly passive they were. Low possession, low control and panic stations - played like it was the 90th minute for 45 minutes

What drama at Villa Park.

Aston Villa led 2-0 at half-time.

Chelsea scored twice in the second half to level the score and thought they had a winner — but Axel Disasi’s goal was disallowed for Benoit Badiashile’s foul in the build-up.

Brilliant from Conor Gallagher.

Chelsea are level having been 2-0 down in the first half.

2-2...Gallagher with a beauty into the top corner. #AVLCHE

Chelsea have improved in the second half and they've been rewarded for it.

2-1. Madueke pulls one back.

#AVFC sleepwalking and weirdly tense. Emery points to his head

Robin Olsen is coming on for Emiliano Martinez, who needed treatment in the first half.

HT: #AVFC 2-0 Chelsea

Around 25% possession, subdued for long spells and happy to let Chelsea onto them, but Villa are a joy attacking in full flow. Sweeping, switch-of-play moves for both goals & trying to hurt Chelsea down the flanks (long balls to FBs & Bailey) & it's working

It's clinical from Morgan Rogers.

Chelsea have had chances — but have been punished for not taking them.

What a signing Morgan Rogers has been. No one - the player, close friends or #AVFC - expected him to be contributing so often this season, but Emery loved him from the start. He's already developed hugely in less than three months.

This is his story...

2-0 #AVFC . It doesn't reflect the way the first half has gone but #CFC being punished for not being good enough at both ends of the pitch. #AVLCHE

Jackson has a free header...hits the post. #CFC should be level. #AVLCHE
