Aston Villa came from behind to win Chelsea 2-1 at home thanks to the duel from the second half of Marc ASensio, and Marcus Rashford provided both assistants.
Chelsea took the early lead when the unmarked Enzo Fernandez (9) collected home Pedro Net – but the game would change when Rashford stepped into the field.
Manchester United replaced Jacob Ramsey at halftime and will not take long before his stretched leg hit the ball with his colleague ASensio to open his sum in Claret and Blue (57).
The momentum was with a home team that followed the equalizer and was the same duo who connected to the winner in the 89th minute, as Asensio’s effort squeezed under the body of Philip Jorgensen after another passage from Rashford.
The duo were both brought to the club on temporary contracts in January a transfer window, but now they look to find their feet in the Unai Emery team, because their efforts catapul the villa within one point of Chelsea in sixth place, which missed the opportunity to enter the best four.
Asensio praises Rashford Impact
Aston villa forward Marco Asensio In an interview with Sky Sports:
“We know the quality of Marcus. It helps us a lot. We are so happy. Thanks also to Marcus for two assists!
“I’m so happy. The atmosphere is amazing here. I want to thank all the fans for the effort, we do it together. We have to continue.
“Unai trusts me and that’s so important for a player.”
Redknapp: Rashford is the new Holte End -a hero!
Sky Sports’ Jamie Redknapp:
“He submitted all the differences. He was fantastic. Holte End has a new hero.
“Rashford entered, he gave energy, enthusiasm, everything we want to see from him. Running, wishing … He was great. He gave them that momentum to put Chelsea on the back leg.
“This is how it is to make a transmission (with Asensio and Rashford). It’s Masterclass. You watch other clubs and that they didn’t bring the players.
“I’m sure there are football directors around the world with their heads in my hands, thinking, ‘Why didn’t I get Marcus Rashford? “
“I get doubts. I’d be nervous about that. But right now it looks like Villa was great to do.
“Glad to be for him. It was hard. Don’t get me wrong, there are elements in which he should have done better, he should do his best. But he must have found a place he loved, a good environment. A good job from Aston villa.”
