<p>Cole Palmer, in particular, missed two clear chances that could have tilted the game in Chelsea’s favour.</p>
<p>Despite Chelsea’s dominance, Aston Villa had their moments, with Chelsea’s goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic making crucial saves to deny Unai Emery’s men.</p>
<p>The draw means that both teams will have to face each other again in a replay to determine who advances in the FA Cup.</p>
