Collymore hails Chelsea's 'best performance' in ages

Collymore, who was at Villa Park to witness the match, took to X to express his admiration for Chelsea's display. 'No complaints here. Filleted by better players playing through several gears rather than one, wonderful individual performances backed up with high press, discipline and enterprise,' he wrote.

Joao Pedro continued his impressive scoring form with a hat-trick, while Cole Palmer also found the net with a well-taken goal. The performance helped Chelsea secure a comprehensive victory at their opponents' home ground, with Collymore concluding his post with: 'Best team performance I've seen at B6 for some time. Well done, Chelsea.'
