The match saw Chelsea dominate from the outset, with Nicolas Jackson opening the scoring early in the game. His near-post finish set the tone for what would be a challenging afternoon for the visitors. Enzo Fernandez doubled Chelsea's lead with a deft finish before halftime, further solidifying the home side's control.
Cole Palmer delivered the final blow with a stunning curled effort late in the second half, sealing the victory and earning praise from fans and pundits alike. "Palmer's goal was the icing on the cake," remarked a jubilant Chelsea supporter outside the stadium.

Despite a few promising moments, including a clean-through attempt by Ollie Watkins that was expertly saved by Chelsea's goalkeeper, Robert Sanchez, Villa failed to capitalize on their opportunities.
