Collymore hails Chelsea's Villa Park display

Former Aston Villa striker Stan Collymore has described Chelsea's performance against his former side as the 'best team performance' he's seen 'for some time' after their 3-0 victory at Villa Park.

Joao Pedro's hat-trick helped Chelsea secure a convincing 3-0 victory over Aston Villa at Villa Park, with former Villa striker Stan Collymore praising the visitors' display. Collymore, who was watching from the stands, took to X to express his admiration for Chelsea's performance.

'No complaints here. Filleted by better players playing through several gears rather than one, wonderful individual performances backed up with high press, discipline and enterprise,' Collymore posted. 'Best team performance I've seen at B6 for some time. Well done, Chelsea.'
