Chelsea delivered a dominant victory over relegation-bound Southampton, easing the pressure with a convincing 4-0 win. While the first 20 minutes were shaky, the team ultimately found their rhythm, with Pedro Neto earning Man of the Match for his impressive display up front.
Chelsea claimed an emphatic 4-0 victory against Southampton, restoring some confidence after recent poor form. Despite struggling to play out from the back in the opening stages, Chelsea capitalised on their chances and took control. Christopher Nkunku, Pedro Neto, Levi Colwill, and Marc Cucurella all got on the scoresheet, sealing a comfortable win. Enzo Maresca made effective attacking selections, though concerns remain about the team's initial lack of solutions under pressure.
Neto thrived in the No.9 role, while Enzo Fernandez delivered a standout midfield performance. Cole Palmer, however, had a poor night in front of goal, missing several clear-cut chances. With nine days before their next league game, Chelsea will hope to build on this momentum as they fight for Champions League qualification.
