What were the key moments in Chelsea's victory over Southampton?
Southampton shouldn't leave him space. He's drilled the ball in from an improbable angle. Chelsea score in the sixth minute. Costa... Brilliant! Nothing really on, but he's just bent it into that far corner. Chelsea have doubled their lead, it's looking very good for them again at St Mary's. Yeah, very impressive victory for Chelsea. Momentum is building, isn't it? Two-goal victory, seven shots on target to Southampton's one. Didn't manage to win the Saints in that second half. And Chelsea in the end with five more touches in the opposition box after a very strong second-half performance. That possession close-up as well to 55-45 and Southampton with 80 more passes in the end than Chelsea. Well, they kept another clean sheet.
Those three at the back. Four wins on the bounce. Four clean sheets on the bounce. Let's hear from the skipper, Gary Cahill, with Jeff Shreves. Gary, fourth straight win, fourth clean sheet against a team that hadn't lost at home. Is that very good business you've carried out today?
Yeah, extremely. We knew that before. I think obviously we were the last ones to be here, so the record for them at home is very, very good and we knew that. But we also knew that if we carried on in the form that we was in, in the league, we were causing problems and today proved that way. But we had to dig in at times. show another side of ourselves. We were a bit of character when we dug in, worked hard, especially first half, they put us under quite a bit of pressure after that first goal.
Clean sheets don't come about by accident. How much is there a clean sheet mentality in the team, even when you're winning the game?
Exactly, we spoke, we knew early on in the season we were letting goals in. Like you said, it's no coincidence, we've worked hard in training, each and every individual player's worked hard, we've worked hard on the shape, what the manager's brought now, and we're getting the rewards.
How did Chelsea's performance compare to Southampton's?
I said last week it's all about having the shape and everything like that, but it's to do with the mentality of the players to go out and dig in and do the business when we need to. We've got flair players that can create and score goals like you've seen today, Also, we needed to dig in and defend well. We did that today, so four wins in the lead now, four clean sheets. We keep going.
How big an asset when you have players like Diego Costa and Eden Hazard in your side, though? Are they the difference?
Like I said, you need these types of players. You're in a big team, you're in a big club. You need these types of players that can turn a game at any moment. And certainly in them two players, along with others, we've got that in the side. Diego's goal, when we're 1-0, and like I said, we're digging in, the shape was good, we felt good, we had a few chances as well, but then all of a sudden he turns and whips on, you know, nearing off in the top corner, that's a difference sometimes, and obviously a pleasure to have these guys on the side.
With City, Liverpool and Arsenal all winning yesterday, did that sharpen your focus as well?
Yeah, we obviously knew that, we were aware of that, and although it's too early, in terms of anybody talking about winning a league at the minute, it's important that you stay involved and you stay up near the top, you don't want to get too big, so we knew that we had to win today. But like you said, it's a difficult place to come and win, so today is great for us.
At one point off, the league leaders, surely you've got to admit, are certainly contenders.
That's what we want to be, we want to be up and among it, I can't see anybody running away with it this year, so we want to be in there, we want to be involved, we want to be up and among it, and we needed to win today to make sure we were still there, so, like I said, a great day for us, great afternoon, and we'll enjoy it now.
Great stuff, Gary. Eden Hazard picked up the Premier League man match, will you pass it along to him for us, please? Yeah, if possible, no problem. Jamie, just how impressive was that from Chelsea today against a good Southampton team?
