Chelsea 0-2 Southampton: Hits and Flops from the game

#Flop: Willian

Chelsea FC v Southampton FC - Premier League

Last weekend, Willian tore Tottenham apart, scoring 2 goals and delivering a Man of the Match performance against his former manager. The Brazilian was expected to bring the experience in a Chelsea attack that contained two very young players. Everyone expected Willian to take charge of the game, but the Brazilian was a shadow of himself against the Saints.

The 31-year-old had 74 touches on the ball, but could not have the impact that was needed in the final third. Willian registered 49 passes with an 80% success rate and did record 2 key passes. He attempted 6 dribbles with 50% success rate. However, he failed to register a single shot in the entire game, a stark contrast from his antics from the weekend.

The Brazilian was one of the poorest players on the pitch and failed to inspire his team on a day when they needed him the most. Lampard realized that Willian was having a hard day on the pitch and ultimately replaced him with Pedro in the 84th minute.
