This might have been considered the first meaningless game of the season but at least Chelsea recorded something of note to pile another layer of misery on Aston Villa. It took 63 days for Alexandre Pato to make his Chelsea debut but the Brazilian needed only 22 minutes to break his duck.
Matt Miazga, signed in January from New York Red Bulls, also made his debut, starting at centre-half, Jake Clarke-Salter was given 15 minutes and Ruben Loftus-Cheek impressed for 90 in an attacking midfield role, providing proof that despite a season to forget Chelsea have much to look forward to in the near future.
