Conor Gallagher (on for Aubameyang 58') - 6. Injected some pace and urgency. Great cross for Sterling on 71 minutes. Getty; Jorginho (on for Kovacic 78') - N/A; Armando Broja (on for Sterling 88') - N/A.

ASTON VILLA RATINGS: Emiliano Martinez - 5. No chance with Mount's opener but his positioning was at fault for the Chelsea midfielder's second from a free kick. EPA

Matty Cash - 6. Energetic, particularly in the first-half. Set up several chances for teammates. AFP

Ezri Konsa - 6. Unflappable at the heart of Villa's defence. Great last-ditch tackle late on. EPA

Tyrone Mings - 3. It could hardly have gone worse in front of watching England manager Gareth Southgate. Howler of a misjudged header to gift first goal to Mount and then gave away free kick from which second goal was scored. Dreadful day at the office. Getty

Ashley Young - 6. Huffed and puffed and the odd decent pass but too little quality with end product. AP

John McGinn - 6. Full marks for effort but perhaps should have taken one of his chances. Guilty of going for goal from a narrow angle with Ings and Bailey unmarked in the area. AP

Douglas Luiz - 6. Worked hard to win the ball and get Villa moving forward. Overhit a corner late on to waste a good opportunity for his side. AP

Jacob Ramsey - 5. Didn't do enough and was replaced late in the game. AFP

Leon Bailey - 6. Pressed energetically. Played some incisive passes, AP

Danny Ings - 6. Had plenty of decent chances but was unable to beat the brilliant Kepa. EPA

Ollie Watkins - 7. Put in a worthy shift. Made plenty of running and produced some good crosses. EPA

SUBS: Emiliano Buendia (On for Bailey 66') - 6. Some classy touches and neat footwork but unable to find telling final ball. Getty

Philippe Coutinho (On for McGinn 73') - 6. Showed some trickery and invention in midfield. Getty

Leander Dendoncker (on for Ramsey 77') N/A. AP

CHELSEA RATINGS: Kepa Arrizabalaga - 9. Outstanding performance. His treble save from McGinn, Ramsey and Ings on 26 minutes was sheer class. Produced and even better save from an Ings header from point-blank range after half an hour. AP

Trevoh Chalobah - 6. Neat and tidy. Couple of timely clearances. AP

Thiago Silva - 6. Solid shift in the centre of defence from the veteran. AFP

Marc Cucurella - 4. Sloppy performance. Taken off during the interval. Getty

Mason Mount - 8. Match-winning performance. Great anticipation to open the scoring and a quality free kick to make the game safe. Excellent all-round work. Along with Kepa, the difference between the two sides. PA

Ruben Loftus-Cheek - 6. Decent defensive work, offered too little offensively. PA

Mateo Kovacic - 5. Guilty of too many sloppy passes. Hooked in second half. EPA

Ben Chilwell - 6. Started positively but guilty of wasting possession as the game wore on. EPA

Kai Havertz - 5. Offered too little. Substituted at half-time. Reuters

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang - 5. A quiet, acklustre performance that saw him brought off after 58 minutes. AP

Raheem Sterling - 6. Buzzed about with intent but missed several very decent chances. Getty

SUBS: Kalidou Koulibaly (on for Cucurella, 45') - 6. Gave Took out Ramsey to earn yellow card. Closed down well. Reuters

Cesar Azpilicueta (on for Havertz, 45') - 5. Contributed little of any not. EPA
