Former Paris Saint Germain player, Marco Asensio scored twice as Aston Villa came from behind to beat Chelsea 2-1 at Villa Park.

The Spaniard, on-loan from the French club netted a superb brace to cancel out Enzo Fernandez’s 12th-minute opener, and both his strikes were set up by fellow January arrival Marcus Rashford, who was introduced as a half-time substitute by Unai Emery.

Villa started the game with poor performance, with the visitors, sporting a new 4-3-3 shape that included captain and natural right-back Reece James in a midfield position, taking control of the early exchanges.

The second and winning goal, scored in the 89th minute, came from Rashford’s quick thinking, taking a corner short to Youri Tielemans, before firing a delivery into the middle.

He picked out Asensio once more, and the Spaniard’s improvised finish squirmed beyond Filip Jorgensen and span over the line to give Villa three points in the race for Europe.

Asensio’s late winner means Villa rise to seventh in the table, a point behind Chelsea and two points off fourth-placed Manchester City.
