Chelsea have increased their lead to seven points courtesy of a 4-2 victory over Southampton
Chelsea have increased their lead at the top of the Premier League table to seven points courtesy of a 4-2 victory over Southampton at Stamford Bridge this evening.
The hosts took the lead after just five minutes through the returning Eden Hazard, but Southampton were behind for less than 20 minutes before Oriol Romeu levelled things up to add another twist in the title race.
Gary Cahill‘s goal right on the stroke of half time sent Chelsea into the break ahead, though, and a second-half brace from Diego Costa – including his 50th goal in the Premier League – ensured that the Blues would pile the pressure back on Tottenham Hotspur.
