After having invested enormous sums of money during the wintry market of transfers, causing even a severe case of 'overbooking' in his staff, Chelsea continues without finding the ideal formula to go back to the senda winning and trace back positions in the table of classification in search of one of the squares that give access to the European competitions. The ones of Graham Potter have gone back to fall.
The actions initiated with a Southampton sending clear signals of danger to the goal of the venues, minutes of impetus that would extend almost until the first half hour of the party. It would be then when the 'blues' would react with played of Mason Mount and César Azpilicueta, whereas Joao Félix continued without marking the differences in the field to break the equality.
The final minutes of the first time showed a better version of Chelsea, but was missing this extra step for desequilibrar the scales to his favour. However, to the 45+1', when all seemed to indicate that the party would go to the rest in tables, would arrive the hit of the visitors. A fault to the edge of the area supposed a serious threat for the londinenses, that finished silenciados with the precise execution of James Ward-Prowse.
The played trastocaría completely the planning that Potter came advancing for the second time. The míster ordered modifications in search of a fast answer in the complement. Raheem Sterling, Mount and Azpilicueta followed it trying without success. Potter would fall in the despair and would call to the field to Mudryk and Havertz to freshen the eleven, but the so much of the tie followed resisting.
Drama in Stamford Bridge
To the 70', Stamford Bridge would remain in vilo with the finish of head of Sterling that would finish taking out Roméo Lavia on the line of goal. Later Adam Armstrong almost would sign the second for the 'Saints', but Kepa would follow suit to preserve the marker. Azpilicueta Would suffer a hard hit in the final minutes and would go out with the neck inmovilizado and receiving oxygen. Mudryk Would have a more, but there would be time. Chelsea falls in front of the colista.
