Chelsea come from behind to beat Aston Villa 2-1 in English Premier League

Reaction from Villa Park on Sunday after two second half goals inside two minutes from Christian Pulisic and Olivier Giroud gave Chelsea a 2-1 win at Aston Villa in the English Premier League.

Home defender Kortney Hause put Villa ahead just before the break, but US international Pulisic came off the bench in the 55th minute and equalised on the hour.

Just 115 seconds later, Chelsea were in front.

Cesar Azpilicueta set up Giroud, whose deflected shot from 10 metres out found the net.

It was no more than Frank Lampard's team deserved and as a result Chelsea tightened their grip on fourth place in the table - 'The Blues' are now five points clear of fifth-placed Manchester United and Wolverhampton Wanderers in sixth in the race for Champions League qualification.

Villa remain second from bottom, but they are only a point away from safety.
