Four things we learnt from Chelsea's 3-0 win over Aston Villa

It would be three different goalscorers who helped Chelsea dismantle an out-of-form Aston Villa side. 

Nicolas Jackson would get the first inside ten minutes. 

The striker would place a tidy finish from a Marc Cucurella cross at the near post.

Following that, Enzo Fernandez continued with his impressive form.

A  smart finish with his laces following a classy assist by Cole Palmer.

The attacking midfielder then got in on the goals in the second half. A beautiful curling effort left Robin Olsen flat-footed in net. 

So here are four things we have learnt from Chelsea's win over Villa:

  • Nicolas Jackson is up there with the best strikers in Europe right now  

Jackson has started this new season on a mission to prove the doubters wrong, and so far, the striker is showing no signs of slowing down. 

Jackson has scored more non-penalty goals since the start of last season than Dominic Solanke and Mohamed Salah, with an impressive 22 goals. 

Enzo Maresca has consistently said so far this season that Jackson offers the West Londoners so much more than just goals. 

The link-up play and his consistent pressing throughout keep backlines always looking over their shoulders. 

Jackson nearly got his reward when his press forced Emiliano Martinez to pass it to him inside the box. 

Unfortunately for the Senegal striker, his touch was a bit too much, and Martinez was able to gather. 

It was yet another fine performance by the striker, and it is clear that the number 15 is vital to Chelsea's game. 

  • Enzo Fernandez is performing at a new level. 

The Argentine midfielder has recently been given a new lease of life under Maresca, with Fernandez having seven goals and assists in four games. 

What has seemingly changed is the midfielder's willingness to move more forward and get in more dangerous areas on the pitch. 

An example of this would be when Chelsea won away at Leicester last weekend.

Helping Jackson with the press before playing a cute ball around the corner to set the striker up for the goal. 

Now, it seems that Fernandez is looking to add more goals. With two goals in two Premier League games, he has found the ability to find the back of the net.  

It is what many expected from Fernandez when he arrived from Benfica, but now it seems the Argentine is finally starting to settle into this Chelsea team. 

Credit has to be with Maresca as he is one of the first managers since Graham Potter to get the best out of him. 

  • Cole Palmer is still showing that quality. 

 A truly astonishing stat is Palmer's record at Stamford Bridge: 23 appearances, 22 goals and six assists. Simply ridiculous for a player 22 years of age. 

Throughout the game, Palmer had small moments of link-up, playing some nice forward balls but nothing truly special. 

For the second goal, which the attacking midfielder assisted, it was a smart pass inside that caught out the Villa backline and enabled Argentina's international to score. 

For the final goal, it was typical Palmer. 

A peach of a curling effort into the far corner left the substituted keeper stranded in the net. 

It shows that even when the youngster does not get a goal or an assist, the forward will eventually provide it. 

His numbers speak for themselves, and it is no surprise that he gets a goal and an assist again today. 

  • Robert Sanchez silenced a few critics with a fine performance.

Sanchez has rightfully received some constructive criticism recently, but the Blues' number one denied Ollie Watkins on a number of occasions. 

A player who had a tough time was Wesley Fofana defending against Watkins, and there was an instant in the first half when the centre-back lost out to the striker. 

One-on-one Sanchez vs Watkins and Sanchez came out on top. 

He made a brilliant save with his legs to deny Villa from going back level. 

Which would have changed the game at that point in time. 

Furthermore, his distribution throughout the game was also on point, with him playing some short balls and a superb kick out of his hands across to Jackson. 

If Sanchez can find his form from earlier on in the season it will be hard to argue Jorgensen starting a game. 

However, the former Brighton man needs to be consistent in order to achieve that status, as last season, the number one was dropped for now on-loan Djordje Petrovic.
