League position: 10th Chelsea had now set the longest unbeaten run of any team in the Premier League in this season (15 games). They became the third club to win 200 away games in the Premier League (Manchester United 245 and Arsenal 208). Alexandre Pato scored from the penalty spot in the third minute of added time in the first half. The Premier League’s Goal Accreditation Panel ruled on the following: - Chelsea’s first goal against Aston Villa on Saturday 2nd April 2016 has been confirmed as a Ruben Loftus-Cheek goal.
