Chelsea vs Aston Villa: Another cagey affair:
Chelsea have edged out Aston Villa at Villa park. Winning with a fifty-second minute strike from Michael Ballack in a game marred by its defensiveness by both teams:
The game was tight for the first half with only one major event, a huge blow to Chelsea as winger Joe Cole was injured on 30 minutes, replaced by Deco.
The resulting Riquelme freekick forced a great save.
In the 51st minute, Chelsea nearly took the lead, Lukas Podolski's 1v1 was saved by the Villa keeper.
The resulting Drogba corner was volley into the top corner by Michael Ballack, one of the few goals he has scored this season.
For the rest of the game neither team created any chances and it finished at Villa Park:
Aston Villa 0-1 Chelsea
Joe Cole is expected to return in mid October.
