Chelsea suffer second EPL defeat to Southampton

Chelsea suffered their second defeat of the Premier League season on Tuesday as the club gave up an early lead to go down 2-1 to Southampton at St. Mary’s Stadium.

New signing, Raheem Sterling, put Chelsea in front in the 23rd minute with his third goal in two games but Southampton leveled within five minutes with a spectacular strike from 18-year-old Romeo Lavia.

In first-half stoppage time, the home side took a lead they would not relinquish courtesy of a deflected effort from Adam Armstrong.

The result means Chelsea drop to eighth and below Southampton in the Premier League table after suffering their second defeat in five games to the start of the season.
