- Chelsea vs Southampton ended 2-0 at Stamford Bridge as the Blues continue their poor form at home
- Michael Obafemi and Nathan Redmond scored in either half to inspire the Saints to victory
- Frank Lampard's side remain fourth on the log as Southampton move three points above relegation
Chelsea vs Southampton ended in a 2-0 win in favour of the Saints who continued their impressive form away from home.
The away side got their goals in each half of the game through Nigerian-born Irish striker Michael Obafemi and Nathan Redmond.
Chelsea were on the backdrop of an impressive victory in the past weekend against Tottenham but could not replicate their form against the Saints.
Southampton were able to cage the Blues in the midfield not giving space to pass the ball around in their usual style.
And their hard work paid off when Pierre Hojbjerg released a pass to Obafemi who displaced Kurt Zouma and finished off the move with a left-foot shot to make it 1-0 in the 30th minute.
Tammy Abraham hit the side net in the early exchanges of the second half but Ralph Hasenhuttl's men were able to hold off Chelsea's attacking threat.
In the 73rd minute, Redmond scored Southampton's second from open play as he put the ball past Kepa Arrizabalaga who was in goal.
Chelsea did not create any meaningful chance in their search for a goal, with Southampton standing tall in their defence set up.
The Saints eventually cart away all the points to move three points out of relegation.
