David Luiz thanks the heavens after scoring a stunning free kick

Chelsea are up to third in the Premier League as they routed a limp Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge.

A soaring header from Fernando Torres, David Luiz's dipping 20-yard free-kick and Branislav Ivanovic's simple nod-in put them out of sight before the break.

Frank Lampard's swerving effort, Ramires' cool finish, Oscar's penalty, and Eden Hazard's run and shot piled on the misery for a bedraggled Villa.

Lucas Piazon missed a penalty before Ramires slotted in in injury-time.
