Eden Hazard Scores as Chelsea Beat Southampton 3-0 in Premier League

Chelsea continued their unbeaten start to the 2018-19 Premier League campaign with another win on Sunday, beating Southampton 3-0. Eden Hazard, Ross Barkley and Alvaro Morata got the goals.

Barkley set up Hazard for the opener in the first half and converted the second goal himself, tapping home from close range. Morata put the final score on the board.

The win momentarily lifts the Blues into first place in the standings but Liverpool and Manchester City will go head-to-head later on Sunday. If either team wins that match, they'll take sole possession of first place.
