Nemanja Matic – 5 (Ramires 53′)
Gave away the penalty on Mane in the first half and shouldn’t have gone to ground as rashly as he did in the box. Seemed at sea when Southampton came forward with their slick passing.
Cesc Fabregas – 7
Did what he was brought to Chelsea to do, and did it very well. Looks confident and assured on the ball and if they go on to win the title, Chelsea will have a lot to thank him for.
Willian – 7 (Cuadrado 83′)
Buzzed around the Southampton box and was a general irritant to the away side. Couldn’t get his shots off as much as he’d have liked and on another day would have run riot.
