Chelsea 2-0 Southampton: 5 Talking Points

#2 Route 1 fails big time for Southampton

The only time fans saw Shane Long

Mark Hughes failed to inspire this team despite having a good outing vs Chelsea last weekend. They were dominating The Blues in all departments but a catastrophic 8 minutes changed the game around.

For some reason, Hughes did not go in with a similar plan today. The Saints were sitting back and waiting to attack Chelsea on the counter.

Conte was all prepared for this and had Gary Cahill and Antonio Rudiger in their own half all the time. Shane Long was not getting any service and when he did think that he's finally got past one Chelsea defender, the other came and cleared the ball away.
