Aston Villa vs Chelsea Debrief: Blues quick to adapt and Kepa to the rescue
17 OCT 2022
Chelsea won 2-0 away at Aston Villa on Sunday but our opponents proved to
be no push overs and the statistics show Graham Potter's quick reaction to
developments on the pitch were key to our victory.

Despite taking an early lead at Villa Park when Mason Mount ruthlessly
punished a defensive error from Tyrone Mings by volleying in the first
goal, it was a difficult first half for Chelsea as Aston Villa pushed hard
for a goal.
However, following a series of changes in personnel and positions from
Potter, we settled more after half-time and made the three points safe
when Mount struck again with a dipping free-kick which wrong-footed
goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez.
== Kepa peppered ==
Villa seemed to take a shoot-on-sight approach and kept Kepa Arrizabalaga
busy, especially in the first half. Danny Ings, brought back into the team
by manager Steven Gerrard, seemed particularly eager to make an impact,
with his five shots two more than anyone else on the pitch.

3.2 - Despite only playing in three matches, Kepa Arrizabalaga has
prevented more goals than any other goalkeeper in the Premier League this
season with his saves (3.2).
3.2 - Kepa
2.7 - Alisson
2.7 - Pickford
2.6 - Neto
2.2 - Pope Barrier.
In total, the home side managed seven shots on target, plus a couple more
which weren't included in the statistics as they were later flagged
offside, but they found Kepa equal to all of them, making a series of
impressive saves to earn our clean sheet.
The Spaniard's seven saves is his highest such tally without conceding a
goal in any top-flight match, for Chelsea or previous club Athletic Bilbao
in his homeland. His performance was a big part of how we turned a
statistically expected 2-1 defeat into a real-world 2-0 victory.

== Experiment and adapt ==
Potter arrived at Chelsea with a reputation as a coach who comes prepared
with several plans for any game, able to change shape and approach as the
situation requires. This was clearly in evidence in Birmingham. With Reece
James ruled out by a knee injury, he needed to alter things on the right.
Apparently expecting a similar match to our last Premier League fixture, a
3-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers where we enjoyed plenty of possession
and needed to patiently open up space against our opponents, he opted to
start at Villa Park with Raheem Sterling as right wing-back and Marc
Cucurella on the left of the back three. They are both players comfortable
on the ball and capable of making things happen, but less physical in
defence than some of the other options in Potter's squad.
However, with a packed midfield both teams ended up looking wide for their
attacking impetus, with each side's attacks through the centre counting
for just 17 per cent of their total. While Villa used their pace on both
flanks to try to create openings, Chelsea became focused on the left,
where 47 per cent of our attacks originated and Ben Chilwell ended the
game with 90 touches, the most of any player.

When it became clear this was going to be a very different game to the one
against Wolves, our head coach wasted no time in changing things, both
with a reshuffle midway through the first half and then a couple of
substitutions at half-time. That was shown by the fact that, despite
starting the game as a wing-back, Sterling ended the match with
comfortably the highest average position of any Chelsea player, after
moving to the right of our front three and then playing as the central
striker.

The two players introduced during the break had a big influence, too,
helping to settle things down in the second half and contributing to a
much-improved team performance. Their impact was shown by the fact Cesar
Azpilicueta managed Chelsea's most key passes (two) as well as his 90 per
cent pass completion rate being the best on the pitch, while Kalidou
Koulibaly's two interceptions was the most for Chelsea and five clearances
second only to Trevoh Chalobah, despite playing 45 minutes less.
== Ruthless Mount ==
Of course, the performance of Mount was also vital to our win, as having
gone into the game looking for his first Blues goal of the season, our
No.19 put his name on the scoresheet twice against Aston Villa.

Mount's stats from Villa away
It was an impressive display of efficiency as he registered two goals from
two shots on target and three shots in total, although the only other
Chelsea player to manage more than one shot was Sterling, also with three.
That saw Mount reach the landmark of 25 Premier League goals for Chelsea
at the age of 23 years and 279 days, making him the second-youngest player
to reach that milestone for the Blues, being a whole eight days older than
Eden Hazard when the Belgian achieved the same feat.
