Chelsea fullback Chilwell frustrated after missing late chance of winner in Aston Villa draw

Chelsea fullback Ben Chilwell admits he was left frustrated after failing to grab a late winner in last night's 1-1 draw with Aston Villa.

Chilwell could've struck in injury-time at Stamford Bridge.

"It was the last minute of the game, Callum (Hudson-Odoi) put a lovely ball in so I thought I might as well just hit it and I could not have hit it any better," he said.

"At the moment we are not quite getting the rub of the green, maybe on another day that goes in, but we will keep working hard and try to put things right."

Chilwell added: "I know the way we want to play at Chelsea is with the full-backs joining in. I have that licence that when I do go forward I know the midfielders are going to cover me. I do like to get forward but the priority is obviously defending, but when I have the opportunity to go forward I do."
