#2 Another home defeat for the Saints

Image result for ings — Ings missed a great chance to score in the first half.

Southampton has one of the worst records at home in the Premier League winning just one of their last 15 league games including this one. Danny Ings missed a sitter in the first half to equalize for the Saints. Similarly, Ryan Bertrand skied a chance in the second half from Højbjerg's cross. Redmond made Kepa full off a great save late in the match.

Apart from that question would be raised of the team's work rate. Chelsea was dominant throughout the match, and it looked like a training ground session for most times for the Blues. Mark Hughes would be frustrated with his team eagerness to get the ball once they lose it. The fans would be hoping that the team can put up a great show at home and give them some joy in the upcoming fixtures.

About the author

A sports enthusiast and an avid follower of football.

Since childhood I was encouraged to play cricket and in no time it became a hobby. Gradually I found interest in other sports also.

Football is in my blood and I love the electrifying ambiance that surrounds it. I often watch the pre and post match analysis of a match and try to learn how to analyze a football game.

The thing that intrigues me the most is that there are so many things happening behind the scenes that are oblivious to our naked eyes. The technological advancements that has been made are phenomenal.

I like analyzing a game from a statistical point of view. Being a data guy myself , I am firm believer of providing insights through facts and data. Though a game is always unpredictable , analyzing it from different dimensions can provide some very interesting conclusions.
