Kai Havertz is off the bench at Chelsea FC
66
22:11
There’s a chance for Havertz! After a quick one-two on the right side of the sixteen, Azpilicueta crosses to the five. Centrally, the national player reaches the cross there, but he only comes under the ball, so that the promising header only goes over the bar. A center forward should make more of it.
64
22:07
James Ward-Prowse (Southampton FC) is shown a yellow card.
A yellow card is awarded for a tactical foul after one’s own corner.
62
22:05
Bella-Kotchap makes a great game! The ex-Bochumer was able to block a dangerous chance by sliding tackle and repeatedly asserted himself with his body. This time he uses it to get the free-kick against Sterling.
60
22:03
Due to injury, Lavia has to leave the field. After his treatment, which lasted about one minute, it doesn’t go any further.
60
22:03
Joe Aribo comes on as a substitute at Southampton FC

22:03
Roméo Lavia comes off the bench at Southampton FC
58
22:01
Havertz puts the penalty spot on the right, but Ziyech doesn’t hit the ball there fully. The flag goes up anyway.
56
22:00
Cucurella becomes more active. From 20 meters he crosses sharply from the left onto the far post, where Sterling puts the flank forward with his thigh. After a contact with Perraud, Sterling goes down dolphin-style and, despite his scream, of course doesn’t get a penalty for the too easy contact.
52
21:55
Double chance for Elyounoussi! As in the 2-1, Perraud is sent into the penalty area on the left. He chips onto the back post, where Elyounoussi can jump into the half-high ball from six yards unchallenged. He placed the ball against Mendy’s direction of travel, but Cucurella was able to block with his chest in the middle of the goal in front of his keeper. The ball then bounces back to the attacker, but the side kick from the turn has too little pressure and is caught by Mendy.
51.
21:55
Loftus-Cheek has now arrived at the Chelsea bench with an ice pack around his right knee.
49
21:53
In general, the guests come out of the dressing room with a lot of momentum. Two good side changes from Ziyech put Azpilicueta and Cucurella in good cross positions, but nothing happens either.
47
21:51
Thiago Silva shoots the first shot of the half from almost 40 meters. But he is blocked by the first opponent in front of him.
46
21:49
Mateo Kovačić comes on at Chelsea FC

Kick-off 2nd half
45
21:37
Mid-term conclusion:
With 2:1 it goes into the cabins! Because Southampton sticks around after the equalizer, they can even turn the game around just before the break. It actually looked as if both teams would drag themselves into the cabins. After a difficult 10 minutes, Chelsea was actually the dominant team, but the defense looked a bit shaky with both goals conceded. Southampton can look forward to the second half because they didn’t allow much at the back and it often looked promising in transition situations. Tuchel will encourage his players to play even faster, because the direct passes kept coming forward dangerously.

21:30
Tooor for Southampton FC, 2-1 by Adam Armstrong
Then the hit still falls! In a quick combination, the ball gets to Ward-Prowse in the center in front of the penalty area. He sticks to the left in the penalty area to Perraud, who keeps his head up. With his left he lays flat back in the middle, where Armstrong can even accept from eight meters. With his left he pulls halfway up in the direction of the left corner. The fact that the ball landed right next to the post is because Koulibaly deflected with his back from four meters. So Mendy has no chance behind him.
45
21:30
Official injury time (minutes): 2
42
21:28
Both teams can now see the strenuous game on difficult terrain. Both risk little in the current phase.
39
21:23
Because the attacker needs to be treated briefly, both teams use the break for a drink break.
38
21:23
Ziyech prances past the defender and is then cleared by Armstrong’s tackle. There has to be a yellow card for that, but Oliver even lets the game run.
36
21:21
You have to play it better! After winning the ball, Southampton go into 3vs3. Armstrong is run behind by Ward-Prowse on the left of the penalty area, but instead of sticking through, he pulls in and flicks far too loosely from 17 meters into the far corner.
33
21:20
A high displacement erupts once in the penalty area on the left, causing Azpilicueta and Armstrong to engage in an aerial duel. The attacker is able to assert himself despite being in a worse position, but before he finishes with a right into the near corner, the angle becomes too acute due to the full-back’s good transition. Mendy defused the low shot with his right hand without any problems.
32
21:17
After a mediocre start, the last 10 minutes were truly spectacular. Since the 1: 1 by the standard, Southampton are back with the euphoria.
28
21:13
Tooor for Southampton FC, 1-1 by Roméo Lavia
The first hit for the newcomer! Another sharp corner from Ward-Prowse is only easily deflected by Azpilicueta at the near post from seven yards out with his sliding tackle. The ball continues to roll to Lavia, who can measure from 17 meters half left. He circles the play equipment with the right inside around two defenders into the short, right corner. Mendy sees the shot late and can therefore no longer get close.
26
21:11
After a perfect long pass from Ziyech, Havertz has the ball on the left in the penalty area. However, the angle becomes too acute before his shot with the left and the German only hits the side netting.
23
21:08
Tooor for Chelsea FC, 0-1 by Raheem Sterling
Sterling scores to make it 0-1! Havertz puts through to Mount on the left wing in the penalty area because Cucurella pulls away a defender with the back run and opens the way inside. Mount can put forward on the left in the penalty area and just about spy to the right to Sterling while sliding. Perraud moves in and even gets the ball eight meters in front of the goal with a tackle, but it just bounces off his body and then comes to a standstill. Sterling can turn first because he is still on his feet and then pushes flat into the left corner with his right hand.
21
21:07
But it should go to the top quickly. Jorginho and Ziyech, in particular, keep clapping their passes flat forward. After such a slip-in pass, Sterling crosses to the right, which Mount cannot reach at the near post. The following corner brings nothing.
20
21:06
The Blues now also manage to control the ball in their ranks.
16
21:02
Chelsea is here now! After a quick throw-in, Havertz goes down the left wing. When he is slowed down, he puts his heel through to Mount, who returns to the left of the baseline for the penalty spot. The ball bounces again before Ziyech can pull it off. In any case, he only hits the defender directly in front of him with his left-footed shot.
14
21:00
This is Chelsea’s first chance! Jorginho pushes forward from midfield, where the team-mate passes on to Sterling on the right from 25 meters from the left. Shortly before the sixteen he puts the ball in past the opponent and then takes a shot with the left from 15 meters. But the ball bounces on the bad grass and the attacker doesn’t hit it properly. Bazunu can therefore bury the attempt in the left corner.
12.
20:57
The Blues are not yet dangerously close to goal. A half-field free kick from the right by Mount is simply headed to the left in the sixteen.
9.
20:55
And the shooter pulls it even harder on the first post. This time the Brazilian does it right, otherwise the ball would have gone straight into the box.
8th.
20:54
The first corner is for the hosts. Ward-Prowse pulls her right on goal from left where Mendy and Thiago Silva disagree. Because the defender goes, there is a second corner.
5.
20:51
The second chance also belongs to the hosts. Walker-Peters prevails over Havertz on the right, who goes into the duel a little half-heartedly. This is how the right-back gets through to the baseline and his placement on the penalty spot is also good. A blue ball can just about get to the flat pass to clear the ball forward.
3.
20:49
The first shot on goal comes from a half-right 19 meters after a goalkeeper hit by Adams. Elyounoussi tries a flat right into the far corner, but Mendy has no problems with the easy shot.
1.
20:46
The ball rolls! Southampton wear their white and red kits, Chelsea are dressed all in blue.
20:39
Today he meets an old acquaintance from the Bundesliga in Tuchel. Because Tuchel is allowed to sit on the bench again after being sent off for the clinch with Antonio Conte after a suspension.
20:37
Also on Saturday, the Saints lost 1-0 at home to Manchester United. Coach Ralph Hasenhüttl had to watch Bruno Fernandes score the only goal of the evening.
20:28
Gallagher was particularly in focus in Chelsea’s last game, because after taking his own corner he was sent off with yellow-red after stopping the counterattack. That’s not the only reason why “sloppy” was Thomas Tuchel’s most frequently used word at the subsequent press conference. Despite the home win, the German coach seemed anything but happy after being outnumbered for more than 60 minutes.
20:11
In England in particular, the end of the transfer window is traditionally quite turbulent. Today the Londoners loaned Hudson-Odoi to Bayer Leverkusen. There are other exit rumors about Gallagher and Batshuayi, among others. In addition, the contract with Ross Barkley was terminated yesterday.
20:04
Both got off to a mediocre start in the Premier League. The Blues are sixth with two wins, one draw and one loss. The home side were able to collect four points with a win and a draw.
