Chelsea Crush Southampton with a Stunning 4-0 Victory at Stamford Bridge

Chelsea delivered a dominant performance against Southampton at Stamford Bridge, securing a convincing 4-0 victory in the Premier League. The Blues, under Enzo Maresca, returned to winning ways in style, with goals from Christopher Nkunku, Pedro Neto, Levi Colwill, and Marc Cucurella sealing the win. The result temporarily lifted Chelsea back into the top four, reigniting their hopes for Champions League qualification.

The home side took control early, with Nkunku opening the scoring in the 24th minute after a well-worked corner. Neto doubled the lead shortly after, lashing in a powerful finish at the near post. Colwill added a third just before half-time, heading home from a free-kick to effectively end the contest. Cucurella completed the rout in the 78th minute, finishing calmly after a swift counter-attack.

Despite the emphatic win, Cole Palmer’s struggles in front of goal continued, as the forward missed several chances to end his seven-game goal drought. Southampton, meanwhile, offered little resistance, with their relegation fears deepening after another heavy defeat. The Saints remain rooted to the bottom of the table, 13 points adrift of safety with just 12 games remaining.

Chelsea’s performance was a stark contrast to their recent inconsistent form, and the victory provided a much-needed boost ahead of a crucial run of fixtures. For Southampton, the outlook remains bleak as they face an uphill battle to avoid the drop.
