Summary at a Glance

Aston Villa boss Unai Emery is pleased with the impact of January signings Marcus Rashford and Marco Asensio after they earned a vital 2-1 win over Chelsea.

But Jorgensen made matters worse as he let Asensio’s shot slip through his grasp as Chelsea suffered an expensive defeat in the race for Champions League qualification.

Rashford was again the creator in the 89th minute as his cross was turned in by Asensio, whose saveable shot was inexplicably let in by Chelsea goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen.

Rashford arrived on loan from Manchester United and Asensio came from Paris St Germain and the pair combined twice to inspire a come-from-behind Premier League win at Villa Park.

“The idea when we signed these players was to help us, to improve us, to show their capacity and skills, the commitment to show their work here we need,” Emery said.
