Aston Villa 1-0 Chelsea: Delph goal dents Blues' title hopes after Ramires, Willian AND Mourinho are given their marching orders

Aston Villa blew the title race wide open after Fabian Delph's late goal gave Paul Lambert's side victory over nine-man Chelsea.
Chelsea had a goal disallowed just before half-time when Nemanja Matic appeared to handle at the far post before bundling the ball into the back of the net past Brad Guzan.
Christian Benteke came close to giving Villa the lead in the second half, swiping the ball wide from just inside the area after Gabriel Agbonlahor's cut-back


Chelsea went down to 10 men with little over 20 minutes remaining after Willian was dismissed for a second bookable offence.
And Villa did take the lead with just under 10 minutes remaining, Delph improvised to flick the ball home after Marc Albrighton's pass.
