Bertrand: Strange seeing Villa defeat Chelsea

Ryan Bertrand admits it was strange seeing Aston Villa shock parent club Chelsea.

Bertrand was forced to sit out Villa's 1-0 victory over Chelsea this month as he was ineligible to face his parent club - and says he wanted Paul Lambert's side to beat his employers.

"It was strange watching the game," Bertrand said.

"I'm still a Chelsea player and I want them to do well, but at that specific moment in time I was an Aston Villa player and with things being so tight in the bottom half of the table, there was only one outcome I needed."
