Chelsea threatens to lose touch early in the race for the English football championship.
The team of team manager Thomas Tuchel had to accept their second defeat of the season in a surprising 1: 2 (1: 2) at FC Southampton at the beginning of the fifth game day of the Premier League.
After national player Raheem Sterling’s third goal of the season (23′) to put Chelsea ahead, Romeo Lavia (28′) and Adam Armstrong (45’+1) turned the game around.
National player Kai Havertz was substituted by Tuchel shortly after the missed header chance to equalize 2-2 (67th).
The Blues are already five points behind city rivals FC Arsenal at the top of the table (seven points). The Gunners, like defending champions Manchester City (ten), only play on Wednesday.
