Sturridge's goal completely broke the deadlock on the court!

Southampton was inspired and began to launch wave after wave of offensives, and Chelsea's goal became even more precarious.

First, Drogba successfully counterattacked and then formed a one-on-one strike, but at the critical moment, he was yelled as offside by the referee.

But judging from the slow motion of the game, it is still hard to say whether it is offside.

Following closely behind, Sturridge broke through with the ball, creating a foul from Chelsea, and Mikel received a yellow card.

Afterwards, Varane headed the ball in the frontcourt and was pushed out of the crossbar by Cech and corner kicked.

The Saints took a corner kick, Drogba headed the ball back, and pointed it to Sturric. The latter inserted it and shot hard, but Cech flew out again.

The battle of Saint-Chech perfectly proves that an excellent goalkeeper can match the words of half of the team!

The first half ended one-to-zero, but in the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, Southampton's offensive remained unabated, and it still had a fierce impact on Chelsea.

At the beginning, Gareth Bale was defending against Ivanovic on the left, and then used his own speed to force Ivanovic, and made a wonderful pass to the penalty area. Drogba grabbed the landing point in the crowd and hit the ball to the lower left corner.

Cech is on the right and it is beyond reach!

But just as the ball was about to cross the goal line, Ashley Cole flew to rescue the ball and cleared it in advance.

But Southampton players complained to the referee that the ball had clearly crossed the white line of the goal.

But Chelsea players were not convinced and believed that they had not crossed the line.

The referee also quickly made a penalty, believing that Chelsea's defense was successful!

But if it blocks this time, it can't stop the next time.

Southampton quickly took a free kick in the frontcourt. After Drogbara took the ball from the left, he knocked back to Gareth Bale.

The Welsh Wings caught the ball and entered the penalty area, which immediately caused a fatal flaw in Chelsea's entire defense.

But at the critical moment, Gareth Bale suddenly returned to the front of the penalty area. Pogba arrived and rushed to the ball, and shot directly. The ball came into the net, 2-0!

The entire St. Mary's Stadium was excited!

Southampton, which was in full force of offensives, almost completely stepped on Chelsea!

But the two goals lead still failed to satisfy Southampton, and the Saints still pressed and attacked Chelsea in a crazy way.

Even Matic, the midfielder, secretly penetrated forward, seized an opportunity and shot a very high-quality long shot, but was swept out of the bottom line by Cech, which was regrettable!

Later, Southampton made substitution adjustments, replacing Ravel Morrison, Isco and James Rodriguez one after another, and the team's lineup also changed back to the 433 tactics that were commonly used.

At this time of the game, Chelsea no longer has the power to resist.

Therefore, even if Bielsa changes formations and substitutions, it will be difficult for the Blues to resist.

In the 81st minute, Isco dribbled the ball in the middle and broke through two players in a row, and passed by Jamele Rodriguez. The Colombian passed the defense line with a look. Drogba understood and chased after him, and shot with a cushion, which pierced through Chelsea's goal again, 3-0!

By this time the competition was over, it was basically over early!

…………

…………

When the crisp whistle of the referee came from the fifty-inch LCD TV hanging on the wall, there was a dead silence in the meeting room of the headquarters of William Hill Gambling Company in London.

Everyone sitting here is an executive at William Hill bookmaker.

Including group chairman Gareth Davis, CEO Ralph Topin, and top leaders of various departments.

They all stared at the LCD TV screen attentively, looked at the time in the upper right, the team names and scores against both sides.

Three to zero!

Southampton beat Chelsea at home!

It should be said that the Saints won Chelsea, which is not surprising at all.

It is enough to conquer Chelsea in this way and with such a dominant performance, that is enough to shock everyone!

Who would have thought that Southampton would be a new team?

Who would have thought that after the winter break, Southampton would perform so well after a short-term adjustment?

"After winning Liverpool and Chelsea in succession, the Saints can be said to be out of control!"

Ralph Topin said with sighs and emotion.

At the beginning of the season, no, even in October, who would have thought that Southampton would have such an amazing performance?

Even in February, Manchester United led by ten, everyone felt that the Red Devils' victory was a foregone conclusion.

But now, seeing Southampton defeating Chelsea so overwhelmingly, everyone was left with amazement.

Also, the suspense about the Premier League championship!

"In this game, Southampton did not send all the main players, but whether it is a veteran like Drogba, a young player like Sturric, Pogba, and Danilo and Nastasic on the back line, they all performed well!"

"Yes, it's so surprising. According to OPTA's data, they actually scored 42 shots in this game!"

"O my God, forty-two shots?"

"Or facing Chelsea?"

"Twenty-four shots are direct. If Cech and Benatia hadn't performed too well, it would have been an amazing big score again!"

"What's going on in Southampton lately? Is it so strong?"

Everyone in the conference room was talking and marveling.

Ralph Toppin sighed, "When I watched Charlene Rahry's self-media program [Off-court] before, I vaguely heard Charlene Rahry mention that Southampton had already started to study the training plan for the new season as early as last season. A very important point includes how to adjust the team's physical fitness reserves."

"Have you been preparing since last season?" Someone was full of marvel and even shocked.

Could anyone in Southampton predict?

Ralph Topping nodded, "Don't forget that Southampton won the championship with a record lead last season!"

After he said this, everyone realized that this was indeed the case.

Southampton has completed triple jumps in the past three years, rising from the League One to the Premier League in one go.

Even this season, as a Premier League promoted team, Southampton is currently the second most popular team to win the championship after Manchester United!

It is also one of the only two teams in the Premier League that have the strength to win the championship!

It is conceivable how amazing this team is!

"Southampton has strictly followed the team's season plan since the summer preparations. It is said that since November, it has been adjusted for the winter break schedule, with the purpose of allowing players to find their form again in March and April!"

The reason why Chelsea suffered a shameful defeat in this game is that the team's strength and skills are inferior to others is on the one hand, and the tactics are on the other hand, but more importantly, the team's condition is too bad!

It doesn't seem strange to think about it. With the thickness of Chelsea's bench, the rotation has not achieved much effect. But it is also in the FA Cup, Europa League and the league. After the players survived the winter break, their physical condition had declined very much in March and April.

In this case, when you encounter a team like Southampton in an excellent state, the other side will grow and fall, and the result can be imagined.

"Southampton's tactics are very targeted. I heard them say that they have a pre-match deduction simulation data analysis system, and they can also scientifically rotate the team lineup. Therefore, in this game, even if the rotation range is so large, they still beat Chelsea overwhelmingly!"

Speaking of this, Ralph Topin couldn't help but shook his head worriedly.

"Who else will be Southampton's opponent next?"

With the CEO's question, someone immediately retrieved the database.

"The next one is to challenge Reading away, against West Ham United at home, against Swansea away, against West Bromwich at home, challenge Tottenham Hotspur away, face Stoke City at home, and play Sunderland away."

Now the Premier League has played thirty-one rounds, with seven rounds remaining.

Judging from the opponents in these seven rounds of the game, Southampton has all gained an advantage in strength

If it is really just from the perspective of the cards, the Saints will win seven consecutive victories again, which is very likely.

"What about Manchester United?" Gareth Davis also asked with a frown.

"Home against Manchester City, away against Stoke City, home against Aston Villa, away against Arsenal, home against Chelsea, home against Swansea and away against West Bromwich."

As soon as the schedule came out, everyone in the entire conference room almost held their breath.

Grandma, what's going on?

Manchester United will still play against Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea in the next seven rounds?

I'm sorry, what's this?

Of course, no one present would doubt that this is the FA deliberately helping Southampton.

The reason is very simple. The schedule was formulated at the beginning of the season. Who knew that Manchester United and Southampton were competing for the league championship in the end?

Besides, Southampton's opponents are indeed not strong in the last few rounds, but look at the past two rounds, they challenged Liverpool and Chelsea one after another, and then chased Manchester United and Manchester City.

What else can those doubters say?

There are only twenty teams in the league, and the double cycle is not matched early, but also late.

Manchester United had faced against the weak team earlier, and all three strong teams were at the end, while Southampton had faced against the strong team early, and they all played against the weak team in the last few rounds.

Gareth Davis sighed deeply, "Don't look at Manchester United's lead by eight points now, but if Ferguson is not careful, it is very likely that the gutter will capsize and give up the league championship in vain!"

Who said no?
