To Hazard.

Olivier Giroud pounces again.

Marc Hughes can't believe what he's seeing.

The scoreline reads Southampton 2, Chelsea 3.

Well, for the most part, I was pleased with what I was seeing.

I saw a team committed, a team that understood what was required, what we needed to do.

We were trying to obviously execute what we talked about in the week in terms of the work that we'd done, and I think that was evident, clearly.

We got ourselves into a great position, a winning position in my mind, because we should have gone on from that point and seen the game out comfortably.

But, as has been the case all year apparently, we've just got a little bit of a soft underbelly.

When a little bit of momentum changes, then we've got to be better reacting.

It seems that when we have a little bit of setback or momentum shifts against us, we can't get that platform and be as resolute as we need to be and wait until momentum changes in our favour again.

So we've got to address that.

Well, yeah, it just gave them enough time to really push the game and obviously their first intention was to get back on level terms.

We were a little bit disappointed with the original ward of the free kick on the halfway line.

It was very soft.

I don't think it was actually a change.

change of possession, we should have been allowed to break off or a good tackle.

There was no foul beforehand.

Mike Dean's pulling it back, they make a quick decision, make a quick free kick and then all of a sudden the ball's in the key area of the field.

Giroud, who's just come on, clearly his strength and his power is in those situations.
