da cassino online： The Blues remain stranded in the bottom half of the Premier League table after another defeat at Stamford Bridghe
da betano casino： Chelsea made it three straight Premier League games without a win or a goal as they were beaten 1-0 by Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge on Sunday. It was a tight game, with the likes of Nicolas Jackson, Mykhailo Mudryk and Raheem Sterling trying to get through the well-structured Villa defence, but nothing came off for the Blues in a frustrating afternoon.
Their bright start to the second half was put to an end when Malo Gusto was sent off for his tackle on Lucas Digne. The defender was initially shown a yellow card, but the referee decided to upgrade it to a red after a VAR review.
Villa were able to take advantage 15 minutes later when Thiago Silva's awful error in the middle of the field surrendered possession to the visitors and they charged forward, allowing Ollie Watkins to lash in his first goal of the season.
With just one win from their first six matches in the Premier League this season, the pressure is already mounting on Mauricio Pochettino and the Blues' expensive signings.
GOAL rates Chelsea's players from Stamford Bridge…
GettyGoalkeeper & Defence
Robert Sanchez (7/10):
Pulled off great saves to deny Villa in the first half and stayed strong in the second.
Malo Gusto (4/10):
Had looked good on the right side but was sent off for an unnecessarily rough challenge on Digne in the second half.
Axel Disasi (6/10):
Thought he had opened the scoring late in the first half but was offside. Looked okay defensively.
Thiago Silva (5/10):
Had been solid at the back with some key clearances and blocks, but it was his error that gave Villa the ball and let them run up and score.
Levi Colwill (6/10):
Played as a traditional left-back to strengthen Chelsea's defence and did a good job up against Diaby.

Conor Gallagher (5/10):
Had a couple of decent moments but left a few big spaces in midfield.
Moises Caicedo (6/10):
Looked strong in midfield and had Chelsea's first shot on target with a long-range effort.
Enzo Fernandez (6/10):
Played high up and tried to combine with the attackers but nothing came of it.
GettyAttack
Raheem Sterling (6/10):
Frustrating performance! Looked bright but the final product was missing due to hesitation, bad decisions or crumbling under Villa's challenges. Should have scored early in the second half.
Nicolas Jackson (5/10):
A threat whenever Chelsea played with pace and sent him in behind the Villa defence, but it didn't happen often enough.
Mykhailo Mudryk (6/10):
His imagination and ability to link up with Jackson and Enzo was on display as he made some dangerous passes and crosses.
GettySubs & Manager
Ben Chilwell (7/10):
Brought on to cover after Gusto's red card and had a great low cross but Villa cleared. Had a shot saved by Martinez, too.
Lesley Ugochukwu (5/10):
Came on with 20 minutes left but did not do much.
Cole Palmer (6/10):
A good pass to Sterling gifted the winger a good chance and then found Disasi with a nice ball, but the defender blasted it way off target.
Armando Broja (5/10):
Late introduction and barely got on the ball.
Mauricio Pochettino (5/10):
His team had some bright moments but not strong enough on home soil. The attackers were too easily isolated and could not string enough dangerous attacks together.
