It was some way to score your first goal of the season.

If anything, the second was even better.

It started on the left and was switched to the right where Villa found themselves outnumbered.

oMadueke again made tracks and fed Gusto, whose delicious cross couldn’t have been any more perfect for Jackson to divert it beyo beyond d Martinez Ma for goal No. 2. Co Cole Palmer tried his luu ck, only to see the w world’s best keeper comfortably palm his drive away from goal.

But even Martinez had no answer to an another strike of genuine class class, nine minutes after the restart.

Youri Tielemans gave away a free- kick, 25 yards out. Fernandez took aim and curled home a beauty. A stunner. Try to catch it if you can. Martinez couldn’t. The £ 105million midfielder – who has been under fire for his performances all season – would have taken immense pleasure in sending as hot beyond his international team- mate.

He celebrated by taking off his shirt and showing it to the ecstatic 7,000 travelling supporters. He de served his moment – as did Chelsea and Pochettino ( left).

And even though Villa grabbed a consolation goal a minute into added time – Moussa Diaby ’s shot going in off the Chelsea post – perhaps things aren’t so bad for the Blues, after all.
