Chelsea performed perfectly in their 4-0 victory over bottom-dwelling, and soon to be relegated Aston Villa. Chelsea fans should certainly be delighted with a win that puts them closer to the Europa League spots, however, fan reactions were focused on Alexandre Pato’s debut and goal.
Twitter exploded with comments as Alexandre Pato took the pitch in the 23rd minute to replace the injured Loic Remy.

In the 4-0 victory, Pato shows that he is ready to make an immediate impact, and could help The Blues end the season on a high note, by qualifying to one of the European spots.
