Chelsea player ratings vs Aston Villa: Conor Gallagher shows leadership as Cole Palmer struggles

Chelsea were playing soccer and almost won at the end, but the referee said no because of the video. They were playing against another team called Aston Villa.

At the start, Unai Emery’s team scored a goal after only four minutes when the ball hit one player and went into the net. Then, another player from Chelsea scored again just before the break.

But then, the other team scored a goal in the middle of the second half. Later, Conor Gallagher, from Chelsea, scored another goal to make it even.

In the end, Chelsea thought they won because of a goal from Axel Disasi, but the referee said no because someone from Chelsea did something wrong before the goal.

So, Chelsea got a draw, which means they didn’t win or lose. They are in ninth place in the league now, with only five games left to play.
