Chelsea has been quietly making waves this year, beating Aston Villa 3-0 in their EPL home game on Sunday. Ansul Fernandes, an expensive midfielder who had been in the doldrums, has finally exploded this year, scoring in two consecutive league matches to lead the team to equal Arsenal and leap to the second place in the table.

Just seven minutes into the match, Chelsea's Nicolas Jacobson launched an attack, and Villa striker Onitsuguenis nearly broke the deadlock, but goalkeeper Roberto Sanzis was able to save the goal. Chelsea's stars were shining brightly, and in the 36th minute, Ansel Fernandes scored on a clever pass from Galpenma.

The 23-year-old Argentine international, who is worth €120 million (HK$980 million), was once questioned for his poor form and even rumored to have "abandoned his wife and children". But Ansel Fernandes has proven himself by scoring in two consecutive Premier League matches and contributing two goals and five assists in his last four matches.

At the final whistle, Galpenhorse scored again, ending a 35-day goal drought, and regaining confidence with Ansel Fernandes to boost Chelsea's competitiveness to compete with Liverpool, Arsenal and other strong rivals.
