Southampton vs Chelsea LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

Red Card Jack Stephens

That could have been four for Chelsea. Fernandez digs out a cross and Nkunku rises highest to head an effort on goal which goes inches over the crossbar.

Assist João Félix Sequeira

Nice turn from Archer on the left flank to get away from a defender and the forward goes alone and gets a shot off on goal which is well blocked.

Palmer wins a free-kick around 25 yards out on goal which Fernandez takes. The Southampton wall does its job and blocks the effort.

Chelsea starting to find their groove in attack now and Palmer is increasingly getting on the ball and becoming more influential in this match.

Chelsea's second corner of the match nearly yields another goal. Adarabioyo is the defender this time to get a header on goal but his effort hits the crossbar. A let off for Saints.

That would have been a brilliant goal from Chelsea. The Blues break from a Southampton corner and Felix plays a fine pass to find Palmer and the forward takes an excellent touch before firing an effort off the post.

Good save from Lumley! The goalkeeper smothers Madueke's shot before getting down well to keep out Palmer's effort. That was better play from the visitors and the first time we have seen Palmer have time and space on the ball in this match.

Southampton have made nine errors leading to opposition goals in the Premier League this season, four more than any other side. Those errors need to be eradicated if the Saints have any chance of staying up.
