Both their winning streaks in the Premier League and in away matches were snapped when Manchester City beat them 2-1 at the Eithad. They then played against Valencia and looked prime to win the match. However, a moment of carelessness from Kepa saw the Spanish side equalise. Their fortunes saw no difference when they hosted West Ham in the Premier League last week as they lost 0-1.
They finally broke their winless run during the match against Aston Villa at home. Tammy Abraham broke the deadlock in the 24th minute. Aston Villa equalised through Mahmoud Hassan just before half-time. Mason Mount then swung the match in Chelsea’s favour minutes after half-time. Chelsea went on to win the match 2-1.
