Chelsea have suffered their second defeat of the EPL season, losing at the St. Mary’s Stadium to Southampton 2-1.
English forward Raheem Sterling had put the visitors in front early on, but goals from Romeo Lavia and Adam Armstrong ensured The Saints denied the Blues all three points on the night.
Thomas Tuchel’s side failed to take the game to their host in the second half with an average performance that could have led to more goals conceded.
