The Mirror reports that Chelsea co-owner Eghbali was caught up in an embarrassing moment with the fans shortly after the match.

Pochettino pinpoints Chelsea's problem

Sports Brief reported that Mauricio Pochettino pinpointed Chelsea's problem after the Villa defeat, indirectly calling out misfiring striker Nicolas Jackson, who has picked up more cards than goals.

Jackson received his fifth booking of the season in the sixth game, having scored just one goal. It's baffling for the manager, who cited their lack of cutting edge in the final third as the reason for their downfall.
