‘Until that, we need to work hard and try to get the win as soon as possible. We create many chances. Last two games, we struggle with that and lacke a threat.

‘Today, Pedro [Neto] playe really well and we tried with him during the week. It works well with him. But we did not win and we have to be upset.

‘If you are not clinical, this league is always open – if you make a mistake, like we did in the second goal unfortunately. When we have the chance, we have to take that.

‘Once again today, we showe we can be good for long parts of the game. But that’s not enough. The performance has to be complete.

‘We need to score goals when we have the chance and defend well, but I thought we defende well today. It is a moment were we were also a bit unlucky.’

Aston Villa’s late winner came courtesy of a howler from Chelsea goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen, who faile to keep out Asensio’s tame effort.

Maresca droppe Chelsea No. 1 Robert Sanchez for Jorgensen earlier in the month but faces a similar dilemma with the Denmark U21 international.
