Chelsea fans can't believe what Ben Chilwell did to Jack Grealish after Aston Villa draw

Ben Chilwell claimed an assist in Chelsea's 1-1 draw against Aston Villa on Monday evening.

However, not all Blues supporters were happy with the summer signing following events at the final whistle at Stamford Bridge as the hosts dropped costly points in the Premier League.

Chilwell, who was a doubt for the Boxing Day defeat at Arsenal with an ankle injury, was one of few players who retained their places in the Chelsea starting XI against Villa.

And that decision paid off shortly before half-time when the left-back's cross was brilliantly turned home by Olivier Giroud.

But Frank Lampard's side couldn't hold on for all three points as Anwar El Ghazi equalised in the second half for the visitors.

Having lost back-to-back games against Everton and Wolves before beating West Ham United, taking one point from a possible six over the festive period has left some Blues fans rather frustrated.

But it's safe to say what Chilwell did at the full-time whistle did nothing to improve the mood.

The defender was spotted smiling with Jack Grealish after the game, which prompted an angry response from some on social media.

@jakeheasman said: "Exhausting watching us. Absolutely bottle another lead. Villa hadn’t got any points from behind this season... until they come up against Chelsea.

"Such a mentally weak squad. Just watching Chilwell laughing and joking with the Villa players now. Team don’t have winning mentality."

@keaano said: "Ben Chilwell liking Jack Grealish's insta post after the game praising his teammates does not sit well with me at all! He does know we just played them right?

"As if it isn't enough with him laughing and joking at FT when we've dropped points at home."

Although, one fan in particular wasn't too bothered about the exchange.

@ThatChelseaPod said: "Yes and those I’ll respect but when ppl are using his interview about getting a reaction , moaning at Chilwell smiling and talking with his mate Grealish at full time I give up.

"Just using anything to be unnecessarily mad."
