  ASTON VILLA RATINGS: Emiliano Martinez - 5. No chance with Mount's opener but his positioning was at fault for the Chelsea midfielder's second from a free kick. EPA

• 

  Matty Cash - 6. Energetic, particularly in the first-half. Set up several chances for teammates. AFP

• 

  Ezri Konsa - 6. Unflappable at the heart of Villa's defence. Great last-ditch tackle late on. EPA

• 

  Tyrone Mings - 3. It could hardly have gone worse in front of watching England manager Gareth Southgate. Howler of a misjudged header to gift first goal to Mount and then gave away free kick from which second goal was scored. Dreadful day at the office. Getty

• 

  Ashley Young - 6. Huffed and puffed and the odd decent pass but too little quality with end product. AP

• 

  John McGinn - 6. Full marks for effort but perhaps should have taken one of his chances. Guilty of going for goal from a narrow angle with Ings and Bailey unmarked in the area. AP

• 

  Douglas Luiz - 6. Worked hard to win the ball and get Villa moving forward. Overhit a corner late on to waste a good opportunity for his side. AP

• 

  Jacob Ramsey - 5. Didn't do enough and was replaced late in the game. AFP

• 

  Leon Bailey - 6. Pressed energetically. Played some incisive passes, AP

• 

  Danny Ings - 6. Had plenty of decent chances but was unable to beat the brilliant Kepa. EPA

• 

  Ollie Watkins - 7. Put in a worthy shift. Made plenty of running and produced some good crosses. EPA

  Leander Dendoncker (on for Ramsey 77') N/A. AP

• 

  CHELSEA RATINGS: Kepa Arrizabalaga - 9. Outstanding performance. His treble save from McGinn, Ramsey and Ings on 26 minutes was sheer class. Produced and even better save from an Ings header from point-blank range after half an hour. AP

• 

  Trevoh Chalobah - 6. Neat and tidy. Couple of timely clearances. AP

  Thiago Silva - 6. Solid shift in the centre of defence from the veteran. AFP

  Mason Mount - 8. Match-winning performance. Great anticipation to open the scoring and a quality free kick to make the game safe. Excellent all-round work. Along with Kepa, the difference between the two sides. PA

Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount scored twice to give Graham Potter's side a hard-working victory at Aston Villa and continue the new manager's unbeaten start.

But it took a string of world-class saves from Spanish goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga to keep the Londoners in front.

Mount opened the scoring after just six minutes with a cool side-footed shot after a howler by Villa defender Tyrone Mings – watched by England manager Gareth Southgate.

Arrizabalaga produced a stunning treble stop from John McGinn, Leon Baily and Danny Ings in the first half before pulling off a spectacular reflex save from a point-blank Ings header on the half-hour.

Mings was again at fault when he conceded the free kick from which Mount doubled Chelsea's lead on 65 minutes.

Chelsea are in fourth place in the Premier League on 19 points, with a Steven Gerrard's Midlanders just a point above the relegation zone with nine points.
