At dawn on Wednesday (31), the Premier League game sudden shock waves, the former powerhouse Chelsea in the lead situation accidentally conceded two goals in a row, 1-2 away from the defeat of Southampton, burst up as high as 5.4 times the home win cold.
Chelsea have lost two of their five league games so far this season, making it their worst start to a season in the last six years. The last time the Premier League lost two or more of its first five games was back in 2015/16, when Chelsea finished in 10th place. Will Chelsea face the embarrassing situation of "rolling over" again this season?
In the 23rd minute of the match, new England signing Staines scored a goal to break the deadlock for Chelsea. The player, who joined the club this season, has scored three goals in the last two matches and is on his feet.
However, Chelsea's joy lasted only five minutes before the visitors equalized. At the tender age of 18, Southampton's youngster Lavia fired in a spectacular volley from the edge of the penalty area to make it 1-1. In first half stoppage time, Southampton's Adam Iwasthan added another goal to make it 2-1.
In the second leg, Chelsea tried to step up their offense, but the attacking force was weak and the shots were just like scratching an itch on the goal. The counter-attack of Southampton was more threatening. Mohammed Sallisso's header almost broke the goal, but it was saved by Thiago Schwarz. In the end, Southampton kept the score 2-1 until the end.
After the match, Chelsea's leader Doucao expressed his dissatisfaction with the performance of his players, believing that they only performed well in the first 20 minutes, after which their fighting spirit was insufficient and they were too easily overwhelmed by their opponents, leading to the loss. Up to now, Chelsea has only won 2, drew 1 and lost 2 of their 5 EPL matches, meaning that they have already lost 8 points. Now, not only is there little hope of winning the title, but whether they can make it into the top four is unknown.
