Joe Cole suggested it was"‘as poor a performance" he has seen Chelsea play under Thomas Tuchel following the Blues’ abject 2-1 defeat to Southampton at St Mary’s.
After the loss on Tuesday night, the former Blues midfielder took aim at Tuchel's side and declared they had "no answers" for the overwhelming energy and enthusiasm of Southampton. The German manager said Chelsea’s defending was too soft, and Cole certainly agreed with his assessment.
England international Raheem Sterling scored his third goal of the season to put the visitors ahead before Romeo Lavia - the first Premier League goalscorer born in the year 2004 - levelled. Adam Armstrong scored the winner on the stroke of half time as the Saints held on to take all three points.
