Chelsea intend to cooperate with the investigation
Emery plays down title talk after 11th consecutive win
Aston Villa lodged a complaint to Chelsea after a bottle of water was thrown at their bench at the end of their 2-1 victory at Stamford Bridge.
There were jubilant scenes at full time after a stunning comeback moved Villa three points off Arsenal at the top of the Premier League. However, the celebrations also featured the away dugout being showered with water when the final whistle was blown. It was not clear if the bottle was thrown by someone from the Chelsea bench or whether it came from the crowd. Chelsea intend to cooperate with the investigation.
The incident did nothing to dim Villa’s joy at an 11th consecutive win in all competitions. They were poor in the first half but Unai Emery changed the game with a triple substitution just before the hour. Ollie Watkins, one of the players who came on, earned Villa an impressive win by scoring twice.
