A young Aston Villa side collapsed completely as Chelsea ran out 8 - 0 winners.

Fernando Torres opened the scoring, heading in emphatically after only three minutes.

It was 2 - 0 soon after as David Luiz curled in a well-taken free-kick.

Despite that Chelsea fans were still chanting the name of former manager Roberto Di Matteo.

But Branislav Ivanovic got a third before half-time headed into an open goal.

It was 4 - 0 soon after the break as Frank Lampard fired into the bottom corner of the net from outside the box.

Villa were struggling to cope and goals from Ramires, Oscar and Hazard completed the rout.

It could have been nine before the finish had substitute Lucas Piazon converted a penalty which was saved by Villa keeper Brad Guzan.
