Comments:

League position: 1st This was Chelsea's 900th win at Stamford Bridge in the top division. The Blues avoided losing consecutive home games in the Premier League for the first time since December 2019. 12 different players had now scored Chelsea's 15 goals so far in this Premier League season. Timo Werner scored after 41 minutes but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review due to a foul.

Comments:

League position: 17th Southampton had now failed to win in their opening seven games of a league season for the first time since 2009-10 in League One. James Ward-Prowse became the first player to score and be shown a red card in a Premier League game for the Saints since Pierre-Emile Højbjerg against Manchester City on 30 December 2018. They scored for the first time in their last four games in the Premier League.
