Chelsea’s unbeaten start to the season continues and they move up into second, only behind Manchester United on goals scored. Next up for them is the Champions League when they face Zenit. Villa couldn’t add to their own unbeaten run, but they’ll be hoping to get back to winning ways against Everton next time out.
Lukaku’s brace helps Chelsea to a 3-0 win over Aston Villa. His first came 15 minutes in when he slotted past Steer, but Mendy kept his side in it at the other end by making some great saves to deny Watkins, Mings and Konsa. After the break, Mings gifted the ball to Kovacic outside his own box and the midfielder slotted home. The third came in stoppage time when Azpilicueta teed up Lukaku and he got his second of the game to wrap it up.
