Eghbali is believed to have gone into Chelsea’s dressing room after the loss – which is said to be becoming a habit.
According to The Telegraph, the Stamford Bridge chief has gone backstage after every match he has watched this season.
Scrutiny was placed on fellow owner Todd Boehly after he slammed his player as “embarrassing” following a 2-1 defeat to Brighton in April.
But Eghbali is understood to have not have made an address to the players.
It is instead claimed he only shook hands and greeted players and coaching staff while “wishing individuals well.”
Eghbali was seen dramatically running away from angry Chelsea fans following defeat to Villa at home.
He was spotted leaving the ground by frustrated fans, who videoed him making a hasty getaway.
The American picked up the pace and jumped into the back of a black Range Rover after realising he was being pursued.

“Look at him running!” said a Chelsea supporter as the 47-year-old looked to get away from fans.
Defeat to Villa has left Chelsea toiling in 14th place in the Premier League table – a mere three points above the relegation zone.
