Hello and welcome to Eurosport's live commentary of the Premier League clash between Southampton and Chelsea. This is Ryan Bailey (@ryanjaybailey) taking you through all the action from St Mary’s. Kick off is 12.30, team news to follow shortly.

It's all over. Southampton remain in the relegation zone with five games to save their top flight status. Chelsea, meanwhile, are seven points shy of their unlikely target of a top four finish.

The subsequent free kick comes in and Courtois comes to the edge of his box to claim it. Well played by the goalkeeper.

Cahill earns the eighth caution of the game after taking down Long with a very cynical challenge near the halfway line.

Bertrand plays a through-ball to Austin, who is unable to beat the offside trap.

The Saints should have another three minutes to find the equaliser.

SUB: Bednarek makes way for Gabbiadini.

Substitute Sims breaks into the box on the right and forces a good save from Courtois!

For most of this game, and a lot of the loss to the same scoreline against Arsenal last week, Southampton have looked impressive. They seem like a team that's too good to go down. But the results - one win in 19 - and this collapse speak for themselves.

SUB: Hazard is replaced by Moses.

SUB: Tadic is replaced by Sims.

Willian sees yellow for a needless challenge on Hjobjerg from behind.

"That's why you're going down!" sing the travelling supporters.

It's cruel, but they have a point.

Long sees yellow for a slide on Pedro.

SUB: Austin has replaced Ward-Prowse.

What a turnaround from Chelsea! Willian plays a free kick on the edge of the box to Hazard, who launches it towards goal. It lands at Giroud's feet and the Frenchman half-volleys it home!

Romeu is booked for bringing down Alonso.

Eden Hazard equalises! Willian cuts a low cross back to the Belgian, who has plenty of space just in front of the penalty spot. He cushions the cross with his right and finishes brilliantly with his left!

Chelsea are piling on the pressure now, surrounding the Saints box with Blue shirts.

Alonso and Pedro combine on the left side of the box. Pedro puts in a dangerous cross but Hoedt clears.
