Aston Villa boss O'Neill: Nothing wrong with Chelsea defence

Aston Villa boss Martin O'Neill doesn't believe victory over Chelsea is a sign John Terry and Ricardo Carvalho's partnership is on the wane.

Chelsea were undone by two Villa set-pieces and O'Neill said: "Today is a day and I wouldn't try to draw conclusions from this one game. It is a setback for them, and a boost for us, and that is all. Terry has been quality for a long time and Carvalho I know from my Celtic days when Porto beat us in the Uefa Cup Final.

"My own view is that Chelsea are brilliant, they are really strong, they can play and move it, and have great players."
