Chelsea equalled their record of seven successive away wins in all competitions following their emphatic win over Southampton. The last away game the Blues failed to win in an away game was against Brighton and Hove Albion on January 19. This shows how impressive they have been away from home

The Blues will be hoping to continue their streak when they play Los Blancos next week away from home in Madrid. It is imperative that they put their best foot forward at the Santiago Bernabeu if they are to advance any further in the UEFA Champions League.

Mason Mount scored two goals and assisted one. The Englishman was on fire upfront. He won five duels, made eight recoveries, won three tackles and created one chance throughout his stay on the pitch. He wrecked havoc every time he moved closer to the box.

Timo Werner was fantastic against Southampton as well. He was absolutely lethal. The German international scored two goals and rattled the woodwork thrice in eight shots. Werner could have had a flurry of goals to his name had he been a bit luckier.
