Chelsea Dominates Southampton 4-0, Moves to Fourth in Premier League

Chelsea secured a vital 4-0 victory against Southampton at Stamford Bridge, marking a much-needed rebound from a three-match losing streak and temporarily lifting them to fourth place in the Premier League. The match saw goals from Christopher Nkunku, Pedro Neto, Levi Colwill, and Marc Cucurella, providing a sense of relief for manager Enzo Maresca amid growing pressure on the club's ownership. Pre-match protests by fans highlighted discontent with the team's performance and management, yet the emphatic win allowed players to regain some confidence. Despite the victory, concerns linger over Cole Palmer's lack of form, as he continues to struggle without a goal in seven matches. Southampton, on the other hand, faces the grim prospect of becoming the worst team in Premier League history as they remain firmly at the bottom of the table. Chelsea hopes to build on this momentum in their upcoming matches, starting with Leicester City next week.
