goals as Chelsea defeated Southampton 2 – 0 at the St Mary’s stadium to

Antonio Conte named the same starting line-up that dispatched
Manchester United 4-0 last week and they again enjoyed a strong start as
Hazard shot between the legs of Fraser Forster in just the sixth minute
from a pass by man of the match Victor Moses.
Costa
struck a brilliant second 10 minutes after half-time to double
Chelsea’s lead and the visitors never looked like surrendering their
advantage on a ground where they have lost just once in nine league
visits.

The win puts Chelsea above Tottenham and into fourth place on 22
points, one behind City, Arsenal and Liverpool, as Southampton missed
out on the chance to climb into seventh.
