Chelsea were 6-0 winners against Southampton in the Premier League as they bounced back from their two consecutive defeats..

Marcos Alonso opened the scoring with his fine striker inside the area, before Mason Mount scored from outside the box shortly after.

Timo Werner, who could have had a hat-trick in the opening stages, eventually found the net with a composed finish, before his fellow German Kai Havertz ensured the result was sealed before halftime.

Werner then scored his second of the day early on in the second half with a tap in, before Mount made it six moments later with an easy finish.

The result will help Chelsea as they look to secure a finish in the top four this season.

It will also give them confidence going into their Champions League second leg tie against Madrid on Tuesday night.
