PL Table After Today's Games as Chelsea and Man United drop points, while Newcastle Won

opera.com 2024/5/19

Chelsea fight back from two goals down to salvage something from a game they dominated for nearly 90 minutes, as off-colour Aston Villa settle for a 2-2 draw at Villa Park.

The hosts struck at either end of the first half to build what appeared to be a healthy lead heading into the second, but the Blues continued to flood forward and Madueke pulled one back just after the hour mark.

Then, Gallagher lived up to his status as captain by producing a brilliant equaliser, before his side honed in on maximum points. However, Disasi's late goal was chalked off by the VAR, letting Villa out of jail following a tepid performance.

Chelsea's final xG stands at 1.37 to their hosts' 0.87, demonstrating how the match unfolded, but they remain adrift of eighth-placed West Ham, with a London derby against Tottenham scheduled for next Thursday.

Villa - who now lead Spurs by seven points - will be back in Conference League action that day, hoping to fare better against semi-final opponents Olympiacos than in today's tame display.
