Chelsea one game from history
On Thursday morning, Thomas Tuchel sat down with his Chelsea players at Cobham and delivered a few stern and choice words after the back-to-back defeats to Brentford and Real Madrid. Seven goals had been conceded in those two games at Stamford Bridge; it simply was not acceptable.
A response was needed and Chelsea delivered in a big way at St Mary's. Six goals – four of which were scored in the opening 31 minutes – and a clean sheet were recorded against Southampton. It was a victory that firmly established the Blues in third in the Premier League table with eight games to play.
