Chelsea 3-0 Aston Villa Highlights

Diego Costa’s outstanding start to his career at Chelsea continued as he grabbed his eighth goal to help the leaders to victory against Aston Villa.

The Spain striker scored one and helped create another as the Blues secured their fifth win of the season.

Oscar was first on the scoresheet when he tapped in after Willian’s shot was saved by Brad Guzan.

Costa added a second with a header before his jinking run and shot led to Willian’s goal from close range.
