Former Aston Villa player Stan Collymore praised Chelsea's performance against his former club, calling it the 'best team performance' he's witnessed at Villa Park in 'some time'. The Blues recorded a 3-0 victory with Joao Pedro scoring a hat-trick and Cole Palmer adding a goal.

Collymore, who attended the match, took to X to comment: 'No complaints here. Filleted by better players playing through several gears rather than one, wonderful individual performances backed up with high press, discipline and enterprise. Best team performance I've seen at B6 for some time. Well done, Chelsea.'
