Chelsea lose consecutive home league games for the first time since 2011 as Southampton deservedly win at Stamford Bridge.
Southampton produced a superb team move before Redmond scored their second
This defeat means Chelsea have now lost five of their last seven league games and their display was in keeping with such form. Mount came off the bench and quickly gave Tammy Abraham the chance to fizz a shot into the side-netting. The striker was denied a second chance shortly after when Jack Stephens crucially blocked his path to goal.
Hassenhuttl made the brave call to leave Danny Ings on the bench, despite his 11 goals leaving him second to only Jamie Vardy in the top-scorer charts this season. When composure was needed, the away side found plenty and their second goal saw them run the clock down with a lengthy spell of possession that ended with Redmond netting his second league goal of the season.
"In the first two or three months we played like a relegation team and now we are playing like a Premier League team," said Hassenhuttl afterwards.With more ground covered than anyone else and more tackles than anyone else, James Ward-Prowse served up a superb display in the Southampton midfield on a day where their work rate was so keyChelsea have lost seven Premier League games this season - only one fewer than they lost in the entirety of the 2018/19 season under Maurizio Sarri .
