Chelsea are seven points behind leaders Liverpool, who drew with Newcastle and are now on 35 points. Southampton remain bottom of the table with five points.
SANCHO’S FIRST
Among the highlights of the match, midfielder Sancho scored his first goal for Chelsea.

And he managed to score for the first time since joining the club at the start of the season. He already had five assists in 2024/25.
