Southampton 1-4 Chelsea: 3 players who impressed and 2 who were poor

Impressive: Willian

The Brazilian was a big driving force for Chelsea in attack

He was not on the scoresheet, but the Brazilian was imperious in attack for Frank Lampard's Chelsea; maybe the best player on the pitch for the Blues. He got an assist when he played in Mason Mount for Chelsea's second goal which is probably the only thing that sticks out looking at the statistics form the game.

But the winger offered so much more during the game, taking on players and leaving them in his wake, releasing Abraham, Mount, and Callum Hudson-Odoi beyond him, and coming deep to receive the ball. He provided a spark for Chelsea in attack and if he continues to do so consistently, then this Chelsea attack could add a new dimension to their already dangerous attack this season.

In previous games, Willian has been quick and keen to shoot, but against the Saints his play was much more measured and provided Chelsea with a genuine alternative to progress the ball through the centre and down the wings.
