REVEALED: How stewards at Villa Park delayed Chelsea before Aston Villa on Sunday

Chelsea have reportedly complained to the Premier League after their arrival to Villa Park was delayed by stewards eating ice cream.

The Blues’ team bus was held up at the club car park and told to wait ahead of their final game of the Premier League season.

Staff at the gate then informed them they didn’t have permission from the head of security to allow them to proceed ahead.

The delay enraged Blues boss Thomas Tuchel and his players, who went into the match needing a victory to secure Champions League football for next season.

And according to The Daily Mail, they were further incensed after seeing two of the stewards blocking the bus were eating ice cream.

The two stewards were apparently eating ice creams with Flakes and raspberry sauce instead of clearing a path to a parking space.

Chelsea were eventually granted entry, after a 15 minute delay.
