"Aston Villa lodged a complaint to Chelsea after a bottle of water was thrown at their bench at the end of their 2-1 victory at Stamford Bridge. There were jubilant scenes at full time after a stunning comeback moved Villa three points off Arsenal at the top of the Premier League. However, the celebrations also featured the away dugout being showered with water when the final whistle was blown."
"They were poor in the first half but Unai Emery changed the game with a triple substitution just before the hour. Ollie Watkins, one of the players who came on, earned Villa an impressive win by scoring twice. However Emery, who was called a tactical genius by Watkins, refused to entertain talk of a title challenge before his side's trip to Arsenal on Tuesday."
