Chelsea's unbeaten start under new manager Maurizio Sarri continued with a 3-0 win over Southampton at St. Mary's. Eden Hazard was the architect in chief of this impressive victory opening the scoring and playing in Alvaro Morata for the Blues final goal. In between, Ross Barkley, recently recalled to the England squad, made it a week to remember by scoring his first goal for the London club.
Southampton had their chances to make a game of it but Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga pulled off several excellent saves to keep the home side at bay.
Positives
Chelsea head into the latest international break with buoyant morale following this emphatic win.
