Premier League 2024-25: Chelsea crushes 10-man Southampton 5-1, closes gap on Liverpool

The Hindu  

Chelsea’s impressive 5-1 win at bottom club Southampton closed the gap to leader Liverpool in the Premier League on Wednesday, with the home side having Jack Stephens sent off before half time for a hair-pull on Marc Cucurella. Chelsea took the lead in the seventh minute through Axel Disasi’s header but Joe Aribo drew Southampton level four minutes later before a goalkeeping howler allowed Christopher Nkunku in to put the visitor back ahead. Noni Madueke extended Chelsea’s lead 11 minutes from the break and despite the red card for Stephens, the visitor had to wait until the 76th minute before Cole Palmer added a fourth and three minutes from time, Jadon Sancho rounded off the win. The home fans were already heading for the exits when Sancho collected a pass from Malo Gusto and rifled his strike past Lumley to wrap up Chelsea’s third successive league win.
