Raheem Sterling has scored for Chelsea to make it 1-0 at St Mary’s.
The winger surged into the box but a Southampton defender somehow got a foot on the cross to take it away from him.
Luckily the loose ball fell for Sterling to turn in at the second time of asking. It completes a period of Chelsea dominance in the game.
It was vital he scored it in the end – he had just messed up a counter that looked certain to be a goal and fans were frustrated.
