Victory was Jose Mourinho's first at Villa Park in five attempts, and Chelsea's day was made even more enjoyable with Manchester City's surprise 1-1 draw at home with Hull City. Eden Hazard had given Chelsea an early lead inside 10 minutes, before Jores Okore ended Villa's long goal drought with a header at the start of the second half.
Before the defender's effort, Villa had gone 659 minutes without finding the net - the fourth-longest barren spell in BPL history. But for Paul Lambert and Aston Villa, the end of their scoreless run will be of little consolation to a side who are winless in nine league matches and two points above the relegation zone, as Ivanovic decided the contest on 66 minutes.
