Mason Mount scored twice as Chelsea beat Aston Villa on Sunday to strengthen their grip on a Premier League top-four place. Manchester United played out a 0-0 stalemate at home to Newcastle on a busy day of action while Southampton and West Ham shared the points in a 1-1 draw. 


Arsenal were on their way to a fourth straight league win in a match delayed after referee Chris Kavanagh lost contact with the video assistant referee and goalline technology. Bukayo Saka scored as Arsenal beat Leeds 1-0. Chelsea’s fourth consecutive league win came courtesy of Mount’s double plus an inspired performance from goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga, who produced a string of saves in the first half.


Mount’s first came after Villa defender Tyrone Mings—in the sixth minute—miscued a simple header straight to the England midfielder, who finished coolly beyond Emi Martinez. Despite their early gift, Chelsea struggled to find attacking fluency and were indebted to Arrizabalaga, whose best save came from a point-blank header from Danny Ings.
