Chelsea 2-1 Aston Villa LIVE: Premier League 2019/20 football as it happened at Stamford Bridge

Welcome to the Evening Standard's Premier League match coverage of Chelsea vs Aston Villa LIVE.

Tammy Abraham further enhanced his Stamford Bridge status by powering Chelsea to a 2-1 win over Villa.

The fast-improving England hitman headed home his 11th league goal of the campaign, then laid on a stunning volleyed winner for Mason Mount.

Abraham shook off a hip injury to lead Chelsea's line and proved his pivotal status under boss Frank Lampard by spearheading this hard-fought victory.

The 22-year-old hit 26 goals in 40 matches on loan at Villa last term and haunted his former club with a hugely-impressive display.

Relive the action with expert coverage from James Olley at Stamford Bridge.
