Southampton's implosion continued as Werner made up for his earlier misses by beating Jan Bednarek for pace before rounding Fraser Forster and finishing into an empty net. Havertz then swept in Chelsea's fourth after Werner hit the post again. Chelsea were ...
It's easier when you lead than when you are down but it was a good mentality." "It was a good performance and a well deserved win. In possession we were focused so it's a good performance and an excellent result," Tuchel said.
Chelsea were 6-0 winners against Southampton in the Premier League as they bounced back from their two consecutive defeats.
Once again he brought great energy to the side; his first goal was a superb strike from outside the box, his second an easy tap in. Substituted at the start of the second half, presumably to be rested ahead of Madrid on Tuesday. He could have scored a hat-rick before he eventually got onto the scoresheet, but Werner worked tirelessly all game. N'Golo Kante - 6.5/10 Made a couple of great runs through midfield and look confident in the heart of the pitch. Like his fellow centre-backs, it was an easy afternoon for the Dane.
Southampton 0-6 Chelsea: Mason Mount also notched a double, with Marcos Alonso and Kai Havertz the other scorers.

Chelsea coasted out the rest of the contest, providing the perfect riposte and offering perhaps just a glimmer of hope for next week’s trip to Madrid. Not content with teeing up the opener, Mount quickly fired home himself – requiring just one touch to steady himself and another to hit the corner of the goal from 20 yards. The Blues will at least now head to the Bernabeu on Tuesday night buoyed up by a victory as bullish as it was bullying on the south coast. Chelsea’s fourth win in their last five Premier League matches inched the Blues ever closer to a third-place finish, with London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham starting to lag behind in the table. Mason Mount helped himself to a double too, with Marcos Alonso and Kai Havertz also on target to hand Chelsea a much-needed winning tonic.
After losing to Brentford 4-1 last weekend and then Real Madrid 3-1 in Champions League, Thomas Tuchel needed a response from his team during an away trip ...
The issue is that in the new year, Mount has only scored or assisted in three league matches for Chelsea. The attack has generally struggled when he doesn't produce, so a question for Tuchel is how can replicate similar form from facing Southampton into a comeback victory over Real Madrid. Mason Mount specifically is critical to the success of the Blues. He had two goals and an assist and in Premier League play, Chelsea has a 6-2-1 record in matches where Mount has scored or assisted a goal. Tuchel only made two changes bringing Timo Werner and Ruben Loftus-Cheek in for Christian Pulisic and Reece James. Werner has had a less than stellar start to his Chelsea career, but, playing on the left wing, he showed what made him a marquee siging, scoring two goals and assisting another from a shot off the post. Southampton have been struggling, conceding nine goals while only winning one of their last five league matches leading up to hosting Chelsea, so there's not a ton to take away from this match. Still, beating Southampton, no matter how soundly, while it's nice, is a far cry from what they'll need to do to stage a miracle comeback in Spain in the Champions League (you can watch the action on Paramount+) on Wednesday. After losing to Brentford 4-1 last weekend and then Real Madrid 3-1 in Champions League, Thomas Tuchel needed a response from his team during an away trip to Southampton. And boy did they get one.
Four of goals came before half-time. Marcos Alonso began the fun with his first league goal since the opening day of the season and Mason Mount, who grew up ...
Southampton had switched to a back-three during the first half but it made little difference to our ability to find space. Alonso slipped a pass through for N’Golo Kante whose attempted little chip was saved, but only into the path of Werner for his second goal. Irrepressible is the way to describe Werner’s first half, and he did fantastically well to leave three Saints defenders trailing in his wake with his skills inside their penalty area for the fourth goal, only to see his shot hit the opposite upright to the one he struck earlier. When the Saints’ skipper James Ward-Prowse messed up a header, Werner was on his way towards goal with the home side’s defence pursuing in vain. To say a Chelsea goal was coming was an understatement, and it did arrive with eight minutes played. Marcos Alonso began the fun with his first league goal since the opening day of the season and Mason Mount, who grew up supporting Southampton’s big rivals Portsmouth, continued a run he is very much enjoying when he struck our second goal with a fine shot.
