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.

“I thought that we were great,” said Lampard after the game. “I’m pleased because that was us again. We had a blip against West Ham and today we were back.
