Well, that's more like it. Chelsea gets all three points and an impressive performance. It was an afternoon that couldn't have contrasted more with the defeat to Brentford the week before.
The Blues threatened to start slowly as Southampton earned some early set-pieces. Still, the home side could not handle the pace of Chelsea's attack as Timo Werner showed his intent with some impressive running and near-misses.
Marcos Alonso opened the scoring, followed by Mason Mount, but Werner was soon in on the act when the Saints gifted him the ball near the halfway line to go and finish. Kai Havertz converted after a miss from Werner for the Blues to finish the half 4-0 up. The 26-year-old striker was already adding to his tally just four minutes into the second period. Five minutes later, Mount added his second and the team's sixth.
