Chelsea's comeback win over Aston Villa creates a 5-point gap with MU
Chelsea opened up a five-point gap with Manchester United in the race for the Premier League top four after coming from behind to win 2-1 against Aston Villa.
Visiting Aston Villa, who are struggling in the relegation zone, Chelsea quickly created a superior ball possession rate. However, it was not easy for The Blues to create opportunities against the dense defense of the home team.
While Chelsea's attack was still struggling to find a way into Aston Villa's goal, goalkeeper Kepa's net shook. In the 43rd minute, Kortney Hause scored the opening goal after two consecutive attempts.

Scoring 2 goals in just 2 minutes, Chelsea came from behind to beat Aston Villa 2-1. This victory helped coach Frank Lampard and his team create a 5-point gap with MU in the race for the top 4 of the Premier League.

SLNA: Center back Hoang Van Khanh's injury is more serious than expected
The injury was from early June and was predicted to not be too serious, but in reality, central defender Hoang Van Khanh suffered a grade 2 ligament tear and will have to rest until August before being able to practice again.
Initially, the injury of the SLNA team captain was diagnosed as a ligament sprain, with a short period of recovery training and he would soon return to the field. However, in a conversation with us, center back Hoang Van Khanh said: "After taking X-rays and carefully examining the injury, the doctors determined that I had a level 2 ligament tear, so I had to rest to recover from the injury until the end of July before I could return to training with the club."
