  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    Jorgensen's goalkeeping nightmare cost Chelsea crucial points on Saturday at Villa Park as they yet again dropped points from a winning situation. The visitors took the lead in the ninth minute through Enzo Fernandez's strike but Marco Asensio's second-half brace secured all three points for the Villans. After equalising for his team just before the hour mark, the Paris Saint-Germain loanee netted the winner in the 89th minute as his shot squirmed under Jorgensen.

  • WHAT ENZO MARESCA SAID

    After the match, Maresca hinted that he could reinstate Robert Sanchez as the team's first-choice custodian as the Italian told reporters: "I don't know. At this moment, it is not today's mistake that I am going to change my mind about Filip in this moment. We will see.

    "The keeper position is a delicate one. The striker can miss the goal and sometimes it doesn't look so important but when the keeper makes a mistake, it's always clear. We need to support each other, stay strong and work hard. In two days, we have one more game at home and hopefully, we can finally win in front of our fans."
