In the FA Cup clash that saw Aston Villa go against Chelsea on February 7, the Villa faced a bitter defeat with a score of 1-3 at their home ground. A meticulous look at the data unpacks several key factors that played pivotal roles in deciding the match's outcome.

Chelsea's scoring abilities were evident right out of the gate, with two goals in the first half at 10m30s and 20m31s respectively. The rapid succession of these goals can be attributed to both superior teamwork and skill, highlighting Chelsea's offensive prowess. By contrast, Aston Villa struggled to find the back of the net, only managing their lone goal during 90m23s in the second half, which was far too late to change the tide of the match.

The game dynamics were largely defined by fouls and penalties throughout the ninety minutes. Interestingly, Chelsea had a higher number of fouls (15) compared to Aston Villa's 13. However, this didn't translate into an advantage for the home side. Chelsea's two yellow cards were given in the second half. The first one in 53m19s shortly followed their third goal, while the second one in 75m44s, which indicates a heightened aggressive defensive play from Chelsea as they safeguarded their lead. On the other hand, Aston Villa, despite committing fewer fouls, received an early yellow card in the first half at the 37m54s mark.

An area in which Aston Villa did hold an advantage was in corner kicks. With seven over Chelsea's six, it demonstrated the home side's efforts to create scoring opportunities, but clearly, these attempts did not meet with much success. On the other hand, Chelsea didn't record a single instance of offside, showcasing their high level of coordination and disciplined play.

In summary, while Aston Villa demonstrated a commendable attempt at control with fewer fouls and more corner kicks, they could not match Chelsea’s tactful and strategic play. The early scoring run of Chelsea, along with disciplined and coordinated attacks, highlighted by the absence of offsides, had the most significant impact on the match outcome.
