Player ratings: Aston Villa 1-3 Chelsea (FA Cup R4)

Chelsea took a while, 180 minutes to be exact, but they made it to the next round of the FA Cup. They beat Aston Villa 3-1, which was quite impressive. Even though Chelsea should have won the game when they played at their home ground, Stamford Bridge, Villa had a bit of an advantage as they had a longer break before the match.

Here are my ratings for each Chelsea player from the game at Villa Park:

Petrovic: 8/10 – Made some important saves, especially when Chelsea needed them the most. It’s a shame he couldn’t keep a clean sheet, though.

Gusto: 8/10 – Outstanding performance once again, controlling the right side and setting up a great assist. He’s proving to be one of the best new players for Chelsea.

Disasi: 8/10 – Played well, especially considering the recent scrutiny he’s faced. Seems to do better when he’s partnered with Badiashile.

Badiashile: 8/10 – Looked solid in defense. We’re waiting to hear about his injury, which could be a big loss for the team.

Chilwell: 7/10 – Better performance compared to his last few games, but still room for improvement.

Caicedo: 7.5/10 – Played really well under pressure. His positioning alongside Enzo worked effectively, but he gave away a couple of unnecessary fouls.

Enzo Fernandez: 9/10 – Outstanding performance, one of his best for Chelsea. He looked more like his old self, and hopefully, it’s a sign of more good things to come.

Gallagher: 8/10 – Improved performance, scoring a great goal and adding creativity to the team.

Jackson: 8/10 – Played excellently on the left, causing problems for Villa’s defense and scoring a well-deserved goal.

Palmer: 7/10 – Had a quiet game but didn’t make any mistakes.

Madueke: 8/10 – Much better performance from him, showing his potential with an assist and helping out defensively.

Substitutes: Sterling, Silva, Gilchrist, Nkunku.
