Chelsea against Southampton Live: Result and reaction as Blues Hammer Saints in the Premier League

We can't just rely on Cole Palmer – Maresca

Chelsea rose back to the top 4 of the Premier League with an uncomplicated 4-0 win against Southampton on Stamford Bridge, which pushed a step closer to the descent.

Around 200 home supporters gathered in 11 in the league.

Christopher Nkunku scored his 14th of the season in all competitions, Pedro Neto scored a rare goal, but needed a goal in his personal pursuit of self -confidence, and Levi Colwill led a third. Marc Cucurella's conclusion from Tyrique Georges Cutback ended the Rout.

If it was negative, it was that Cole Palmer did not end what is now a seven-game run without a goal and thus missed a flood of presentable opportunities.

Enzo Maresca at least has his Chelsea back for the time being. It remains to be seen whether it will protest in the medium term.

This in turn and the effects of the Aston Villa defeat at the weekend in the way in which it will continue to happen in the far-reaching race for the top 4. Nobody can take the moment, so Chelsea is not alone there.

The lively George races to the left and a decent Backheel gives Nkunku a chance, but Aribo is blocked. Could George previously gave him the ball a fraction?
