Southampton 1-5 Chelsea: Post-match highlights: Blues unafraid to slay Saints at home and move into second place

Rotation of 7 starting players ready to fight with the Golden Spurs

Entering the end of the Premier League season 2024/25. Of course, the increasing difficulty is the increasingly tight schedule, causing Chelsea, who just played against Aston Villa. To have to rotate up to 7 players, especially since their next game will be an away game against Tottenham Hotspur. A tough rival in London.

The 4 starting players who still have the opportunity to start like the previous game are Cole Palmer, Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez, and Marc Cucurella, who are currently considered the mainstays of this team, especially the first two. The

other 7 players are the players that Enzo Maresca usually sends to play in the Conference League. Therefore, it is not surprising that they play quite well together.

The result ended with Chelsea’s victory with a landslide score of 5-1. Making them officially rise to second place at this time and still maintaining the momentum to clash with the next big โปรโมชั่น ufabet game.

Let’s look at Eke-Palmer. One is better, the other is worse.

Although the results of the competition were satisfactory for Chelsea. One thing that should be mentioned is the form of Cole Palmer and Noni Madueke, which have been going in opposite directions in a shocking way.

Those who have been following Chelsea all along will know that Noni Madueke is a highly talented player who has been trusted by Maresca a lot. However, one thing that has always been a problem is that he likes to be too possessive of the ball, or sometimes he wants to shoot himself, which has made the fans fed up. However, in

the recent period, Madueke has seemed to have a better attitude towards playing, knows how to play for the team more than for himself, and has also chosen to use opportunities in the final third to the fullest, which has made many people who used to criticize him start to praise him.

On the other hand, Cole Palmer, who is considered the ‘carrying man’ of Chelsea, may have more pressure on himself, to the point that in the past 2-3 matches. He has seemed to be more possessive of the ball than usual. Every time he touches the ball. He seems to rush in to shoot rather than create opportunities for his teammates to play. Of course, it is not good for the ‘key man’ of the team to have the same possessive attitude towards the ball as Palmer is at the moment.

The game ended in the first half.

Today’s game showed that Southampton has a clear playing style and the coach. Russell Martin has a bold team philosophy by ordering his team to set the ball from the back and dare to open up to exchange no matter who the opponent is.

But when imagination and reality cannot go together because the Saints’ players do not have enough potential to play according to the concept, the result was a landslide at home since the first half. What’s more. The goals that were scored (and almost scored) came from simple mistakes in playing in the back. To

make matters worse, the team captain, Jack Stephens, was sent off with a red card just a few minutes before the end of the first half. Therefore, for the last 45 minutes. Chelsea dominated the game and put pressure on the home team.

Sancho scores his first goal for Chelsea

Since Jadon Sancho moved to the Blue Lions last summer. He has had good days and bad days, but there has never been a day when the player has scored a goal.

Today’s game is another day that Jadon Sancho will remember for the rest of his life. Because he had the opportunity to come on in the 72nd minute. He was able to open his first goal in the 87th minute, and he also faked a beautiful shot at the near post, leading the team to a landslide victory. With

this goal, Sancho has now scored 1 goal and 5 assists from 10 appearances this season. And it is almost certain that next season. Chelsea will have to pay Man United to sign this player to join the team permanently.
