Chelsea forced to FA cup replay with Aston Villa after draw at Stamford Bridge 

Chelsea and Aston Villa played out a goalless draw at Stamford Bridge, leading to an FA Cup replay after a drab stalemate.

The match, full off fast-paced action, saw Chelsea dominating possession but failing to convert several key opportunities.

Cole Palmer, in particular, missed two clear chances that could have tilted the game in Chelsea’s favour.

Despite Chelsea’s dominance, Aston Villa had their moments, with Chelsea’s goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic making crucial saves to deny Unai Emery’s men.

The draw means that both teams will have to face each other again in a replay to determine who advances in the FA Cup.
