 Chelsea turned on the style to completely destroy in-form Aston Villa and move back up to third place in the Premier League.

Fernando Torres continued his resurgence under Blues manager Rafael Benitez with a towering third-minute header to set the Blues on their way.

And a stunning David Luiz free-kick and Branislav Ivanovic header as good as wrapped up victory before the interval.  Frank Lampard marked his 500th Premier League start by crashing home a fourth on the hour and two strikes from substitute Ramires, an Oscar penalty and a fine individual effort from Eden Hazard rounded off the scoring.

As well as providing more evidence of Chelsea's growing momentum under Benitez, the thrashing revised the Premier League record books.

The result marked the first time seven players from one team have scored in a match and matched Chelsea's record 8-0 win over Wigan from May 2010.
