Sturridge's goal completely broke the deadlock on the court!
Southampton was encouraged and began to launch wave after wave of offensive, and Chelsea's goal became more precarious.
First, Drogba formed a single pass after a successful counter-offside, but at a critical moment he was blown offside by the referee.
But judging from the slow motion of the game, it is difficult to say whether it is offside.
Immediately afterwards, Sturridge made a breakthrough with the ball and created a foul by Chelsea, allowing Mikel to receive a yellow card.
After setting the ball in the front court, Varane scored a header and was crossed by Cechto for a corner kick.
The Saints took a corner kick, and Drogba nodded and knocked the ball back before giving it to Sturridge. The latter inserted and volleyed, but Cech flew out again.
St. Cech’s battle perfectly proved that an excellent goalkeeper can match the words of the first half of the team!
The first half ended with a one-to-zero end, but in the second half, the two sides changed sides to fight again. Southampton's offensive continued unabated and still launched a fierce impact on Chelsea.
At the beginning, when Gareth Bale faced Ivanovic’s defense once on the left, he used his own speed to force Ivanovic and then passed to the penalty area. Drogba was in the crowd. Grab the landing point and hit the ball to the lower left corner.
Cech is standing to the right, he is beyond reach!
But at the moment the ball was about to cross the goal line, Ashley Cole flew into a rescue and cleared the ball in advance.
But the Southampton players complained to the referee, believing that the ball had clearly crossed the goal white line.
But the Chelsea players were also dissatisfied, thinking that they had not crossed the line.
The referee also quickly made a penalty, believing that there was no cross line and Chelsea defended successfully!
Can stop this time, but can't stop the next time.
Southampton quickly opened a free kick in the frontcourt. After Drogbara took the ball to the left, he knocked back to Gareth Bale.
The Welsh Wing caught the ball and headed into the penalty area, which immediately caused a fatal flaw in Chelsea's entire defense.
But at a critical moment, Gareth Bale suddenly returned to the front of the penalty area. Pogba rushed to the ball, greeted the ball, and shot directly with his leg, the ball hit the net, two to zero!
The whole St. Mary's Stadium is excited!
The offensive Southampton almost completely trampled Chelsea under its feet!
But the two-goal lead still failed to satisfy Southampton, and the Saints still launched a crazy press and attack on Chelsea.
Even Matic’s midfielder sneaked forward secretly, seized an opportunity and shot a very high-quality long shot, but Cech flew out of the bottom line, which was embarrassing!
After that, Southampton made substitution adjustments, successively replaced by Lavel Morrison, Isco and James Rodriguez, and the team lineup has also changed back to the usual four-three-three tactics.
At this point in the game, Chelsea is no longer able to resist.
Therefore, even if Bielsa made changes and substitutions, it would be difficult for the Blues to resist.
By the eighty-first minute, Isco dribbled the ball through two consecutive players and crossed James Rodríguez. Behind the Colombian defending the pass, Drogba caught up with him. The footpad shot and penetrated Chelsea's goal again, three to zero!
At this point in the game, it has basically ended early!
…………
…………
When the head referee’s clear whistle sounded from the fifty-inch LCD TV hanging on the wall, it was deadly silent in the conference room at the headquarters of William Hill Gaming Company in London.
Everyone sitting here is an executive of William Hill betting company.
Including Group Chairman Gareth Davis, CEO Ralph Toppin, and the leaders of various departments.
They all stared at the LCD TV screen attentively, watching the time on the upper right, the names of the teams against each other, and the score.
Three to zero!
Southampton beat Chelsea at home!
It should be said that the Saints won Chelsea, this is not surprising.
It is possible to conquer Chelsea in this way, with such a dominant performance, and it is enough to make everyone shocked!
Who could have thought that Southampton was a newly promoted horse?
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 a row, the Saints can really be said to be in a bad shape!"
Ralph Topping said with sorrow.
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 had a ten-point lead. Everyone felt that the Red Devils won the title by a certainty.
But now, seeing Southampton beat Chelsea so overwhelmingly, everyone is left in awe.
Also, the suspense about the Premier League champions!
"In this game, Southampton did not give all the main players, but whether it is a veteran like Drogba, or a teenager like Sturridge and Pogba, as well as Danilo and Nastasic in the defense. Waiting for people, all behaved eye-catchingly!"
"Yeah, it's amazing. According to opta's data, they actually shot forty-two shots in this game!"
"My God, forty-two shots?"
"Still facing Chelsea?"
"Twenty-four shots on the right. If Cech and Benatia hadn't performed too well, I'm afraid this would be another amazing score!"
"What the is going on in Southampton lately? The state is so fierce?"
Everyone in the conference room was all talking and exclaiming.
Ralph Topping sighed, "When I watched Charlene Lahry’s self-media program before, I vaguely heard Charlene Lahry mentioned that Southampton was said to have started as early as last season. I have studied the training plan for the new season. One of the most important points is how to adjust the team's physical reserves."
"You have been preparing since last season?" Someone was amazed, even shocked.
Could anyone in Southampton predict?
Ralph Topping nodded, "Don't forget, Southampton had a record-breaking lead in the Champions League last season to upgrade!"
After what he said, everyone remembered that it was indeed the same.
Southampton has completed three consecutive jumps in the past three years, rising from the English League to the Premier League in one breath.
Even this season, as a newly promoted Premier League, 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 to win the championship!
One can imagine how amazing this team is!
"Southampton has been in strict accordance with the team's season planning from the beginning of summer preparations. It is said that starting from November, it will adjust the schedule for the winter break. The purpose is to let the players find their form again in March and April!"
The reason why Chelsea suffered a humiliating defeat in this game is that the team's strength and skills are not as good as people, and the tactics are also on the one hand, but more importantly, the team's state is too bad!
It’s not surprising to think about it. With the thickness of Chelsea’s bench, the rotation has not achieved much effect. Instead, they are fighting in the FA Cup, the Europa League and the league. After the players have survived the winter break, it is March and April. The physical condition has declined severely.
In this case, encountering a team like Southampton in an excellent state, one can ebb and flow, and the result can be imagined.
"Southampton's tactics are very targeted. I heard from them that they have a set of pre-match simulation data analysis system, and they can also scientifically rotate the team lineup. Therefore, this game, even if the rotation range is so Great, still overwhelmingly killed Chelsea!"
Having said that, Ralph Toppin shook his head worriedly.
"Next, who else is Southampton's opponent?"
Following this question from the CEO, someone immediately called the database.
"Next is the away game to Reading, the home game to West Ham United, the away game to Swansea, the home game to West Bromwich Albion, the away game to Tottenham Hotspur, the away game to Stoke City, the away game to San Derain."
Thirty-one rounds have been played in the Premier League and there are seven rounds left.
Judging from the opponents in these seven rounds, all Southampton has an advantage in strength.
If it is really just looking at the cards, the Saints will win seven consecutive victories again, the possibility is very high.
"What about Manchester United?" Gareth Davis also frowned.
"At home to Manchester City, away to Stoke City, home to Aston Villa, away to Arsenal, home to Chelsea, home to Swansea and away to West Bromwich Albion."
As soon as the schedule came out, everyone in the entire conference room almost held their breath.
What's the matter, grandma?
In the next seven rounds of Manchester United, will they have to play Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea?
I rub, what is this?
Of course, no one present would doubt that this is the FA deliberately helping Southampton.
The reason is simple. The schedule was set at the beginning of the season. Who knew that Manchester United and Southampton were fighting for the league title in the end?
Besides, Southampton's opponents in the last few rounds are indeed not strong, but look at the past two rounds, challenging Liverpool and Chelsea successively, and then chasing Manchester United and Manchester City.
Those doubters, what else can you say?
There are just 20 teams in the league, double-loop, early and late.
Manchester United was against the weak team earlier, and the three strong teams are in the end, while Southampton was against the strong team early and the last few rounds were against the weak.
Gareth Davis sighed deeply, "Don't look at Manchester United now leading by eight points, but if Ferguson is not careful, it is very likely that the boat will be overturned in the gutter and the league champion will be handed over for nothing!"
Who said no?
Southampton is chasing so fiercely, and the state is better than one game.
There was such a chaser behind him, and he shouted the slogan to win a winning streak, and the pressure would only increase for who it was.
Manchester United is actually showing fatigue now!
After defeating Norwich 4-0, Manchester United's next two games against Reading and Sunderland are both dangerous and narrow wins.
Especially in the fight against Sunderland, relying on an own goal to win, Manchester United's poor state can be imagined.
"Now Manchester United leads by eight points and there are still seven rounds. The next game to play Manchester City is very important!" Ralph Toppin said sharply.
Manchester City's strength is not lost to Manchester United, even much better than the Red Devils.
In addition, although this game was held at Old Trafford, it was a Manchester derby.
I believe no one will forget that last season, also at Old Trafford, Manchester City broke Manchester United's classic game six to one.
"If Manchester United win this game, the pressure on the team will be less and morale will be boosted."
Ralph Toppin had a deliberate meal at this point.
"But if Manchester United draws or even loses, then Manchester United will fall into a passive position. At that time..."
Although Ralph Toppin didn't say it, everyone in the room knew it well.
Once Manchester United lost points in the derby, the situation is worrying!
Especially considering that we will face Arsenal and Chelsea next, Wenger and Benitez are not fuel-efficient lamps.
Regardless of how embarrassed Benitez lost to Southampton in this round, it was the team's incomplete lineup and poor strength.
Can Manchester United's lineup be comparable to Southampton?
Everyone present was worried ~EbookFREE.me~ because if Manchester United lost the championship, Southampton really won the championship and created the miracle of the newly promoted champion, William Hill would lose one. Large sums of money.
Because they not only ate the £1 million bet from Yang Huan, but also the risk transfer of two other bookmakers.
If Southampton won the championship, then William Hill would be miserable!
More than 400 million pounds will be the worst loss in William Hill's history!
Therefore, senior executives such as Ralph Toppin and Gareth Davis, while worrying, are also praying for God and Buddha, hoping that Manchester United can stand up and other teams can also create more threats to Southampton.
As for, to add to Southampton privately?
They are regular bookmakers, but not those underground bookmakers. How dare they?
I really regret it! r1148
