#3 Southampton shot themselves in the foot
Southampton, in an attempt to play out and load attacks with patience and spaces, were not helped by their centre backs. Back passes were way too awkward for Gunn, who himself is not what you bill as a 'modern-day, ball-playing goalkeeper.'
Far too often, Chelsea were eased to the ball in the advanced areas of the pitch. Credit Frank Lampard for the change in system and approach in uprooting Southampton's challenge, but the hosts had to do better, especially against a side that headed into the game with three consecutive victories under its belt.
As a result, Chelsea won the ball back in and around the central area of midfield, and Jorginho played an incisive first-time pass to Willian. The in-form Mason Mount exhibited his willingness and desire by running ahead and receiving the pass.
And from what he's been like this season, he was probably never in doubt. Ralph Hasenhuttl cut a dejected figure as his side continued to gift Chelsea the ball in heart-wrenching zones.
