"I'm proud of the lads for that second-half performance," says Conor Gallagher on TNT Sports.

"I think the goal at the end should have counted, but it's not my decision,"

Duran with a header over the bar in the dying seconds. It ends 2-2 as the final whistle sounds. Chelsea unfortunate not to win it. Villa pretty ordinary on the night.

Axel Disasi heads in off the bar before racing away to celebrate, but it was clear push in the back of a Villa player before the ball went in the net. VAR with the right decision. Benoit Badiashile with a clear foul before crossing into the area.

That looked like the winner when Palmer sped through on goal, but Olsen produced a top save to deny him.

Two of them made here. Axel Disasi replaces the injured Thiago Silva as Cesare Casadei takes over from Mykhailo Mudryk

Is this the goal that earns Chelsea a point tonight? Worthy of winning any game.

Superb play by McGinn to cut a dash into the Villa box, but Watkins blasts the ball over the bar. Almost a dramatic winner.

A late challenge on McGinn attracts the attention of referee Craig Pawson.

Diaby looks far from happy as he departs the scene to be replaced by Jhon Durán.

Mykhailo Mudryk late on Cash, and earns a booking for his troubles.

What a sweet finish that is from Gallagher's left foot. A quite glorious finish from the edge of the Villa box as it flies high and well beyond Olsen. 2-2. What a magical goal. Chelsea fully deserve that equaliser too.

Palmer with a swerving hit from long range. Right idea, but always swinging wide of Olsen's right-hand post. Still the theme of this second period continues.

Tim Iroegbunam replaces Douglas Luiz as Diego Carlos takes over from Leon Bailey for Villa.

First time they've been seen in the second half in attack as Leon Bailey's finish is saved by Petrovic before the keeper wallops away the loose ball with Watkins set to pounce.

Decent piece of keeping by Olsen to claw away the cross by Madueke. Villa really living on the edge here leading 2-1.

Douglas Luiz trying to press Caicedo, who earns a free-kick after Digne received some medical treatment. Villa yet to have an attempt at the visiting goal in the second half.

Leon Bailey dives into a late challenge looking to pick the pocket of Moises Caicedo, who takes a sore one. He is booked.

Poor finish after Noni Madueke charged towards the Villa box only to be felled by Rogers, who is booked for a late one.
