Chelsea blanked Southampton 3-0

Eden Hazard celebrates with Ramires after scoring the 3rd goal for Chelsea
Chelsea dominated a tired Southampton side to secure a convincing 3-0 win in the latest round of English Premiere League football.

Earlier in the game both teams displayed excellent defensive game that ended the first half with a nil-nil scoreline.  Things became different in the second half as Oscar and Willian replaced Juan Mata and Andre' Schurrle respectively.   At the 60th minute mark, Oscar shot wide from the left flank which was slightly deflected by Southampton's Calum Chambers. The shot went past Kelvin Davis and hit the lower back post which rebounded and allowed Fernando Torres to nudge a header for the opening goal for Chelsea. 

Then in the 71st minute, the duo of Oscar and Willian played perfectly as Willian received a cross from Oscar from the left before powering a curl that slip past Kelvin Davis to give Chelsea a 2-0 lead.  

Just as Chelsea was secured of three points of the night, Eden Hazard released Oscar to force a one on one with Davis which was completed by the diminutive left winger from Chelsea. Oscar's late goal made the final scoreline.
