Filip Jorgensen’s late howler in the Chelsea goal handed Aston Villa a Champions League qualification lifeline as they won 2-1 at Villa Park.
Aston Villa 2-1 Chelsea: Marco Asensio scored twice as the hosts came from behind but the second was a gift from Filip Jorgensen.
First, he was played in by Asensio, but a poor first touch took him wide and his shot was saved by the legs of Chelsea goalkeeper Jorgensen.
It was especially pleasing as Villa’s January loan signings combined, with both of Asensio’s goals created by Marcus Rashford and Emery will be hoping the pair can fire his side back into Europe next season.
Chelsea were on the back foot but still carried a threat, with a deflected shot from the largely anonymous Cole Palmer drifting just wide, while Christopher Nkunku forced Emiliano Martinez into a flying save from a curling effort.
