43'

Hjobjerg scythes down Zappacosta, then kicks the ball into the stands when Mike Dean blows up. Take your pick as to which action earns him the yellow.

42'

Christensen clatters into Long and concedes a free kick around 30 yards from goal, on the left. Ward-Prowse swings it into the mixer and Yoshida, under pressure from Cahill, heads into the stands.

40'

CHANCE!

Ward-Prowse shoots from 20 yards and Courtois spills it into the path of Tadic, whose follow-up is too gentle. However, the Serbian is offside.

37'

Shane Long breaks on the left, crosses the halfway line and pushes towards the middle of the pitch. He has two centre-backs to beat, but opts to have a poke from around 35 yards.

It smashes into the advertising hoardings to the right of Courtois' goal.

35'

Yoshida and Morata clash heads and the Chelsea man is punished with a foul. He's not happy about the decision - it did seem like a 50/50 challenge.

34'

Alonso swings in a cross deep from the left but Bertrand does well to clear.

32'

Meanwhile, Chelsea have yet to have a shot on target in this one...

31'

29'

WIllian launches Chelsea's second corner of the game towards Zappacosta on the edge of the box. The Italian's shot is deflected for another corner, which McCarthy paws out for yet another one. This time, the Saints clear the danger.

28'

Hazard crosses a ball into the box for Zappacosta, who heads towards Morata in the six-yard box. Morata's effort is headed over the bar.

27'

Azpilicueta plays a ball along the floor to Hazard on the edge of the area. Hazard dummies and lets it run between his legs... but there's no one there to pick the ball up.

Not exactly telepathic communication in the Blues frontline there.

26'

Tadic and Long combine on the left and the latter swings in a cross. Soares is there, but doesn't quite reach it.

Southampton look dangerous right now.

24'

Bertrand was superb in the build-up to the goal. He sprinted more than half the pitch with the ball and showed great strength to force his way into the box, before cutting it back for Tadic.

23'

Bertrand puts another cross along the floor, but this time Azpilicueta clears it.

21'

GOAL!

Bertrand charges down the left wing, beats Azpilicueta and breaks into the box. He slides a pass to Tadic, who dispatches a simple left-footed finish along the floor from six yards!

19'

Willian swings in a free kick from 30 yards out on the left. Morata slides in as the ball lands on the edge of the six-yard box, but doesn't quite make contact. McCarthy gathers it up.

18'

These Harry Kane jokes are never going to get old. Never.

16'

Hazard leads a Chelsea counter attack over the halfway line. He sprays the ball right to Willian, who breaks into the box and sees his cross claimed by McCarthy.

15'

Following a corner, Fabregas floats in a cross from the right, but McCarthy does well to rise and claim it.

13'

Hjobjerg draws a foul from Kante on the halfway line by cleverly lifting the ball away from the Chelsea man's challenge.
