Chelsea ended their three-game losing streak with a dominant 4-0 victory over relegation-bound Southampton, with Christopher Nkunku, Pedro Neto, Levi Colwill, and Marc Cucurella all finding the net as Cole Palmer endured a rare off night.
Chelsea produced a commanding 4-0 win over Southampton to move back into the Premier League’s top four, securing their first clean sheet in 14 league games. While Cole Palmer struggled to find his finishing touch, missing two clear chances, others stepped up in his place. Christopher Nkunku opened the scoring with a brave header, followed by goals from Pedro Neto, Levi Colwill, and Marc Cucurella.
Southampton, who have now conceded three or more goals in seven of their last eight games, rarely threatened after an early chance for Paul Onuachu. Despite pre-match protests from a section of Chelsea fans against the club’s ownership, the dominant display eased pressure on Enzo Maresca, who acknowledged that Palmer’s struggles are natural and expects him to regain form soon.
