Chelsea extended their lead at the top of the Premier League to seven points thanks to a 2-1 victory at beleaguered Aston Villa on Saturday.
Branislav Ivanovic struck a superb winner as Chelsea defeated Aston Villa 2-1 and extended their advantage at the top of the Premier League to seven points.
Victory was Jose Mourinho’s first at Villa Park in five attempts, and Chelsea’s day was made even more enjoyable with Manchester City’s surprise 1-1 draw at home with Hull City.
Eden Hazard had given Chelsea an early lead inside 10 minutes, before Jores Okore ended Villa’s long goal drought with a header at the start of the second half.
Before the defender’s effort, Villa had gone 659 minutes without finding the net – the fourth longest barren spell in Premier League history.
But for Paul Lambert and Villa, the end of their scoreless run will be of little consolation to a side that is now winless in nine league matches and just two points above the relegation zone.
