Chelsea Will Sleep Like A Leader

Changes in the upper part of the English league. Chelsea is the new leader of the Premier League thanks to a Timo Werner who was finally decisive and who, with his goal in the 85th minute, put the three points on track for the 'Blues' against Southampton, taking advantage of the fact that they played a day before than the previous owner of the first place, Liverpool, who will have to deal with City.

Werner, whom the VAR had annulled a bit in the first half, looked gagged from head to toe, but made a good assist from César Azpilicueta in the closing stages of the game to avoid the puncture of Chelsea, in which Saúl Ñiguez again he did not enjoy minutes for the third consecutive game.

And that things started very well for Thomas Tuchel's men, who went ahead with a header from the young center-back Trevoh Chalobah and made it 2-0 through Werner before the break. But the VAR reviewed the goal and canceled it due to a foul by Azpilicueta at the beginning of the play.

Southampton, who had not created much, found themselves with a penalty in their favor half an hour from the end for a Ben Chilwell tackle on Valentino Livramento, precisely a player on loan from Chelsea. James Ward-Prowse duped Edouard Mendy from eleven meters and got the 'Blues' into trouble at Stamford Bridge.

However, the way was paved when Ward-Prowse himself, 15 minutes before the final whistle, was sent off for a direct red after an ugly tackle on Jorginho that luckily had no consequences for the Italian.
