Chelsea secured an emphatic 6-0 win over Southampton in the Premier League at St. Mary's Stadium on Saturday. Goals from Marcos Alonso and Kai Havertz and braces from Timo Werner and Mason Mount were enough for the Blues to secure all three points.
Thomas Tuchel's returned to winning in fine fashion after defeats against Brentford in the league and Real Madrid in the Champions League over the past week.
Alonso opened the scoring early in the game. Ruben Loftus-Cheek found Mount in the box who laid the ball to Alonso to fire home the opening goal. Mount turned from provider to score eight minutes later as he drilled the ball home from the edge of the box to make it 2-0.
German forward Werner scored Chelsea's third goal of the game. The 26-year-old forward capitalized on James Ward-Prowse's tame header to run in and round the goalkeeper to make it 3-0.
The Blues' fourth goal was scored by Havertz at the 31st minute mark. Werner's shot cannoned off the post to Havertz, who had an open goal at his mercy.
Tuchel's side were 4-0 up at half-time. However, the scoring was not done with Werner adding a fifth goal early in the second half. Five minutes later, Mount added his second goal and Chelsea's sixth of the afternoon.
The Blues seemed to have taken their foot off the gas for the remainder of the game with the game comprehensively won.
Fans were understandably delighted and took to Twitter to share their thoughts. Here are some of the reactions to the game on Twitter:
Chelsea's win sees them maintain a stronghold in third position in the Premier League standings. Tuchel's side have now amassed 62 points from 30 matches this season.
The Blues' next Premier League match is against Arsenal on the 20th of April at Stamford Bridge. Before that, they have the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid. They also have an FA Cup semifinal against Crystal Palace at Wembley Stadium on 17 April.
Chelsea will now look to overcome a 3-1 deficit in the Champions League quarterfinals
The Blues will now shift their attention back to the Champions League. They travel to Spain to face Real Madrid in the second leg of their quarterfinals on Tuesday. 12 April. Thomas Tuchel's side will have to overcome a 3-1 deficit if they want to defend their Champions League title.
The winner of the tie will either face Manchester City or Atletico Madrid in the semi-finals. As things stand, City hold a 1-0 advantage on aggregate but will have to travel to the Wanda Metropolitano next.

Chelsea should remember that the team they beat is not real Madrid and they should stop talking or else we will cane them at home again... remember 90mins in the bernabau is a long time
Is like ignorance and arrogance is worrying you. let me take you back into memory lane! Chelsea win over Real Madrid when we met three times in the 20th century was in European cup final mainly the cup winners cup and UEFA Super Cup which Chelsea beat Real Madrid on both occasions. Do you know Real Madrid could have proudly claim to have won every European trophy if the had beat Chelsea in the cup winners cup in 1971? Chelsea have won every major trophy both domestic and European competitions plus worldwide (FIFA) Real Madrid cannot claim of such! Chelsea met Real Madrid again in the 21st century and thrash them until this recent one you are making noise about like Chelsea have not been your nightmare before then.

Have some shame!!! It took Real Madrid 6 attempts and more than 50 years since the first meeting in 1971 Cup Winners Cup final before they could beat Chelsea. Still the worst record in Real Madrid's history facing a particular club 5 times and not winning!! Have some Respect for the reigning European and World Champions.
what was the winning margin...how many wins...and first how many times...you played against us in the past excluding recently only 3times ..2 in the 2021 and the other in the 90s now in those we drawn 1 and you won,2 now what's the big thing about this ??? haaaaa Chelsea have some Shane ...now you turned to a club like Barca who celebrate winning against the best club in the world like they won a cup...the only club we have a bad record against in England is Liverpool not you women fellowship...

What message? Southampton is like Eibar in Lalelga. Nothing extraordinary there. Low level clubs getting trashed is normal.
