What was the significance of Chelsea's 4-2 win over Southampton?
Chelsea have taken another giant step towards the Premier League title. They've beaten the Saints by four goals to two. Hazard opened the scoring. Gary Cahill made it 2-1 on the stroke of half-time. And both are now with Patrick Davidson.
Guys, well played. Gary, does that feel like another big step?
Yeah, it sure does, yeah. It feels like a massive step, to be honest. You know, first time for a long time that we've played first. So we know how important it was to get the win. So we're delighted today. We played well. I thought we deserved the win.
Eden, you got the ball rolling, do all the goals, do all the wins feel extra significant at this stage?
Yes, it's always good to score, to create a lot of chance. We did well today, we scored four beautiful goals, so tonight we deserve to win. It's always good to play before Tottenham play tomorrow, so we put pressure on them and we are all happy today.
It's your 15th Premier League goal of the season, your best scoring season of your career so far. What does that mean to you? That's the stat you're looking to get up, isn't it? To get up there with the real best players in the world?
No, to be fair, I just want to take the trophy at the end of the season. Number of goals, I don't care. If my goals help the team to win the games, that's good. It did tonight. Yeah, it did tonight, so I'm happy.
Just talk us through the mindset for your goal, which was crucial. It looked like one of those fearless headers. You weren't even distracted by the fact that Diego was trying an overhead kick.
How did Eden Hazard contribute to Chelsea's victory?
Yeah, he tried to claim it after, I think, as well. No, he just sniffed out the second ball. I'd seen Marcus was going to win that and he's popped a nice ball back across, but it's one of them for a defender or for any striker, really, that the ball's just lofted over like that. He's dying to be attacked, so I was delighted. It was a great timing, I thought, for the second goal because... We went in at half-time with our tails up and it was a big boost for us. I'm sure it deflated them. I'd been on the end of them before at half-time and you've got to go in there. It was great timing, just delighted. Like Eddie said, the most important thing is we get these wins, so that's all that matters.
Just talk to us about how you're feeling. You've had quite some week. I'm well enough to spend a night in hospital. What's it been like? How are you feeling now?
All right, just recovering, I'm fine. It's not too much about me, it's about the lads who had a difficult week because they had a bit of a gallbladder pain and things like that, so not ideal. But the lads didn't miss me at Tottenham, in Wembley, sorry. Put on a great performance, got through there, and I'm just thankful to recover now and get back on the pitch, so that's the main thing.
I think you said before the game that you hoped to win and cause trouble in the minds of the Tottenham players. What do you hope they're thinking now?
I hope they have trouble. We will see tomorrow. We can start home tomorrow to watch the game and we will see. What does this leave us, Gary? What does it leave you?
leaves us in a good position, like we've said a few times this season. We're just concentrated on what we've got to do. We've got a big game this weekend, a difficult game, so we need to rest up, recover and be right for that. Like Eddie said, we can watch the game tomorrow with our job done.
What role did Gary Cahill's goal play in the match?
Well done.
Thank you.
Yes, and that game is away to Everton, the first part of Super Sunday, with Tottenham going second at home to Arsenal. Graeme Souness, Jamie Redknapp with us in the studio. Eden Hazard called them four beautiful goals. Was that a performance of champions elect?
Most definitely. Very effective, defended properly, didn't give many chances away against a good attacking Southampton team. Southampton only play one way, and it's to their credit. They try and outscore you, but they are easy to play against. This Chelsea team can pick you off. The minute you commit people forward, they find out where you're vulnerable and they've got some fabulous players up front.
