EPL: Chelsea crush Southampton in five-goal thriller

By Daily Sports Nigeria on December 5, 2024

Chelsea, on Wednesday, produced a brilliant performance to claim a dominant 5-1 victory over Southampton at St. Mary’s Stadium in the Premier League.

Goals from Axel Disasi, Christopher Nkunku, Noni Madueke, Cole Palmer, and Jadon Sancho ensured an emphatic win for the Blues, while Joe Aribo’s equalizer for Southampton proved to be a brief moment of resistance.

The game started with a bang as Axel Disasi fired Chelsea ahead in the 7th minute, capitalizing on a pinpoint assist from Enzo Fernández.

Southampton responded swiftly, with Joe Aribo slotting home a Kyle Walker-Peters pass in the 11th minute to make it 1-1.

However, Chelsea quickly regained control. Christopher Nkunku restored the visitors’ lead in the 17th minute, connecting with Noni Madueke’s assist.

Madueke added Chelsea’s third goal in the 34th minute, latching onto Joao Félix’s delivery to make it 3-1.

Southampton’s woes deepened in the 39th minute when Jack Stephens received a straight red card following a VAR review, leaving the hosts to play the remainder of the game with 10 men.

Chelsea capitalised on their numerical advantage early in the second half.

Cole Palmer extended the Blues’ lead in the 77th minute with an assist from Nkunku, who was instrumental throughout the match.

Jadon Sancho added the fifth in the 87th minute, finishing off Malo Gusto’s pass to seal an emphatic win.

Southampton struggled to keep up, and even yellow cards like Adam Armstrong’s in the 47th minute did little to stem Chelsea’s relentless attack.
