(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).
Aston Villa would land a manager with a background in ‘managing elite players’ if they replaced Steven Gerrard with Mauricio Pochettino and it would be ‘strange’ to ignore the Argentinian at Villa Park, according to Dean Jones.
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.
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.
Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount scored twice to give Graham Potter's side a hard-working victory at Aston Villa and continue the new manager's unbeaten start.
Mason Mount and Kepa Arrizabalaga were Chelsea’s stars as they helped to maintain Graham Potter’s unbeaten start in the Premier League with a 2-0 win over Aston Villa on Sunday.
