CHELSEA returned to winning ways under Frank Lampard against Aston Villa on Wednesday night, after a surprise home defeat to West Ham last weekend.

Chelsea took the lead through Tammy Abraham after 24 minutes before Dean Smith’s men struck back just before half-time. But a superb goal from Mason Mount early in the second half sealed the points for the home side.
