Chelsea moved to third position on the Premier League table following a comfortable 3-0 victory over Aston Villa.
Nicolas Jackson, Enzo Fernandez and Cole Palmer were all target for the Blues at the Stamford Bridge.
Jackson swept the West London club into a seventh-minute lead with his effort sliding in off the post.
Prompt News reports that Ollie Watkins missed the chance to equalise for Villa eight minutes later.
Fernandez played a lovely one-two with Palmer before striking his effort into the bottom corner for the hosts second goal nine minutes before the break.
Palmer sealed the win for Enzo Maresca’s side with a sublime finish late in the game.
Chelsea will look to continue their unbeaten run with a midweek Premier League trip to Southampton on Wednesday night.
Meanwhile, Aston Villa will hope to end their winless run at Brentford on the same evening.
