(Reuters) - Aston Villa manager Steven Gerrard said he will not hide from the intense criticism he is facing from sections of the club's support after Sunday's 2-0 home defeat by Chelsea prompted jeers from the stands.
BIRMINGHAM, England: Graham Potter's impressive start as Chelsea manager continued as Mason Mount's double gave his side a 2-0 Premier League victory at struggling Aston Villa on Sunday (Oct 16).
Graham Potter highlighted the sparkling contribution of Kepa Arrizabalaga to his side's gritty 2-0 win over Aston Villa. The Spanish keeper — so impressive so far under Potter's command — took his game up another notch in the West Midlands, pulling off a series of astonishing stops to keep the Villans at bay, and in the process securing his fourth straight clean sheet in all competitions. Ad It allowed Chelsea to hold onto a win that was given to them by Mason Mount's goals — one in each half.
BIRMINGHAM : Chelsea's willingness to do the "ugly stuff" is the basis of their unbeaten run under Graham Potter, the manager said on Sunday after a 2-0 victory at Aston Villa.

Chelsea are unbeaten in six games since Potter replaced Thomas Tuchel at Stamford Bridge and the win at Villa was their fifth in a row in all competitions. They were given a helping hand by their hosts with Mount cashing in on a horribly misguided defensive header by Tyrone Mings in the sixth minute. Villa responded well and created several good chances before the break but were frustrated by Chelsea's keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga who made a series of saves including a miraculous one to deny Danny Ings an equaliser.
Mason Mount scored twice as Chelsea beat Aston Villa on Sunday to strengthen their grip on a Premier League top-four place while champions Manchester City prepared to take on Liverpool in a blockbuster clash. Manchester United played out a 0-0 stalemate at home to Newcastle on a busy day of action while Southampton and West Ham shared the points in a 1-1 draw. Arsenal were on their way to a fourth straight league win in a match delayed after referee Chris Kavanagh lost contact with the video assistant referee and goalline technology.
