Chelsea could only play out a 1-1 draw with Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge on Monday evening, as the Blues failed to take all three points despite having scored first.

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard insisted after the game that despite the dropped points, he was pleased with the performance of the team, and Chelsea legend Pat Nevin shared in his sentiments.

According to Nevin, he saw a few chinks of light that could lead to victories in upcoming games.

Pat Nevin wrote in his column for the official Chelsea website: “I definitely saw a few chinks of light coming through in the game against Villa. The return of a bit more confidence and a certain Mr Ziyech and those chinks could soon become beams of light.

“So yes, it has been less than a perfect year, but like the rest of the planet I reckon 2021 still holds a huge amount of promise for Chelsea. And hopefully for you all.

“Have a Happy New Year and of course a safe one that with any luck brings us all back into the bright sunlight of normality by summertime at the latest.”
