Chelsea continued their fine form with a stunning 3-0 victory over Aston Villa.

Chelsea were top value for money against Villa at Stamford Bridge, as goals from Nicolas Jackson, Enzo Fernandez and Cole Palmer sealed a spectacular victory.

Palmer created one and scored another, as he sealed the win with a spectacular late third in typical Cole Palmer fashion.

Palmer has taken his tally to eight goals and six assists in the Premier League this season, and has now recorded 47 goal involvements since his Chelsea debut – the most of any player in the division.

Following his goal, in-form Cole Palmer has become the second-fastest Chelsea player to reach 30 goals in the Premier League for the club, achieving the feat in just 46 games.

Only Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink (41) reached the milestone faster, as Cole Palmer has eclipsed top ex-Chelsea players like Diego Costa (48) and Didier Drogba (67).
