Ezri Konsa: Playing away from home is always challenging, and this match was no exception.

Ezri Konsa recounted the feeling of Aston Villa making history as they equaled the club's record of 11 consecutive wins, a feat dating back 111 years. The stunning 2-1 victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge allowed Unai Emery's 2025 squad to match the club's winning streaks achieved in 1897 and 1914.  

Aston Villa are currently on an eight-game winning streak in the Premier League, the longest winning streak in the top flight dating back to October to December 1910. Centre-back Ezri Konsa has expressed his hope that the team's winning streak will continue.  

Ezri Konsa said: "Making history is always very special. I've been with the club for a long time, and it's a fantastic feeling to be a part of history. I hope this continues."  

Ollie Watkins was the hero in West London's match. The second-half substitute scored twice to help Aston Villa secure the victory after Chelsea took the lead. This win also marked their ninth consecutive game with a one-goal advantage.  

Ezri Konsa, reflecting on the victory against Chelsea, said: "Away games are never easy, and this was a very tough match. We struggled to play our best in the first half, and they caused us a lot of trouble. We had to be resilient defensively, and ultimately we conceded a goal."  

“This season, when we were down by one or two goals, we didn’t get discouraged. We always maintained our belief, and I personally know the team’s strength on the field. The substitutes played very well and helped us a lot. In particular, Ollie Watkins scored two goals and played very well. I’m happy for him.”
