    End of 2nd Half
    FT
    FULL TIME: SOUTHAMPTON 0-6 CHELSEA
    Chelsea have been excellent today and it could've been more. They took it easy after the sixth goal.
    It has been nothing short of embarrassing for Southampton who have made continuous mistakes all game. An awful performance from them.

    90'
    TWO MINUTES ADDED
    The pain is nearly over Saints fans.
    Ziyech has a long shot and it goes well wide summing up the last twenty minutes.
    88'
    CHELSEA LOOKING FOR ONE MORE
    Some great passes as Southampton chase shadows.
    Tuchel's side suddenly up the tempo as they try to get one more to equal the score line against Norwich earlier this season.
    84'
    FOOT OFF THE GAS
    The damage has been done in the first hour of the game. Now, Chelsea are taking it easy, there is no intensity to the game now. A complete contrast from the first half. Blow the whistle now ref!
    81'
    EMPTY SEATS
    Saints fans are heading home. There are plenty of empty seats at St Mary's and there has been for some time.
    79'
    FORSTER HAS PLAYED WELL
    Not very often do you let six goals in and be your side's best player but the goalkeeper has made eight saves and has kept the score down.
    77'
    DOMINATION
    Chelsea have had 14 shots on target and 70% possession.
    They have demolished Southampton.
    75'
    JUST WIDE
    Alonso on the overlap again has space and Ziyech finds him with a perfectly weighted ball.
    The Spaniard runs onto it and hits a great shot but it flies just past the post.

    NOT CHELSEA'S BIGGEST WIN (YET)
    This won't be Chelsea's biggest win of the season if they don't score more. They beat Norwich 7-0 earlier this season.

    MOUNT OFF ZIYECH ON
    No hat-trick for Mount, he is next to be taken off. Ziyech replaces him.

    CHELSEA TAKING IT EASY
    The West Londoners are just passing it around with ease - simply saving energy now.
    Although I wouldn't put it past them to score more today.

    JAMES ON SILVA OFF
    Thiago Silva now gets a rest with Reece James coming on. With his attacking strength he will fancy a goal.

    JUST SIT DEEP SOUTHAMPTON
    They're still flying forward and pressing when Chelsea are just playing around them with ease.
    To stop this getting more embarrassing they need to sit in a low block and prevent space.

    GOAL: SOUTHAMPTON 0-6 CHELSEA (MASON MOUNT)
    Alonso has acres of space down the left, he puts in a low cross to Pulisic who shoots and it is saved well by Forster.
    It eventually falls to Mount, another tap in, another goal.

    ADAMS SHOULD SCORE
    Out of nothing, Southampton have a chance.
    Walker-Peters puts a low cross in and Adams directs towards goal and it's a good save from Mendy.
    He's had nothing to do but he is there when called upon, good goalkeeping.

    GOAL: SOUTHAMPTON 0-5 CHELSEA (TIMO WERNER)
    Southampton are ridiculously open. Kante tried to chip Forster and it's saved.
    However, it falls to Werner to tap into an open goal. His second of the game.

    A SUB FOR EACH
    Havertz is off for Pulisic. He gets a rest ahead of the second leg versus Real Madrid on Wednesday.
    For Saints, Diallo is on for A. Armstrong - a defensive switch.
