Tammy Abraham scored his
eighth league goal of the season as in-form Chelsea swept aside Southampton at
St Mary's to climb to fifth in the Premier League.
Chelsea dominated from the
outset and took the lead when Abraham's looping finish from Callum Hudson-Odoi's
pass was adjudged to have crossed the line before Maya Yoshida's intervention.
Mason Mount doubled the
Blues' lead from close range, before Danny Ings poked home Yan Valery's
cut-back to reduce the arrears.
The visitors restored
their two-goal advantage five minutes before half-time, N'Golo Kante's strike
from the edge of the area taking a wicked deflection off Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg
on its way past Angus Gunn.
Two second-half
substitutes combined to set up Chelsea's fourth, Michy Batshuayi slotting home
Christian Pulisic's through-ball to put the seal on a comfortable victory for
Frank Lampard's side.
The result leaves
struggling Southampton in 16th place - just one point above the relegation
zone.
