Highlights

 

Moments

6′ Hazard is alive today! He turns his man, puts the ball on his left foot and then shoots towards the top corner! It’s a great strike too! But flies narrowly over the bar.46′ GOAL! GIROUD’S DONE IT! A long ball forward, a brilliant first touch from Hazard and Giroud shows great feet and balance to keep the ball close, dribble past two defenders and the goalkeeper as he stumbles towards the ground, and then stabs it into the back of the net!
48’ Attempt Missed. Hazard dribbles a good 50 yards, making Romeu slip with a little shift of balance, but Giroud and Willian can’t do anything with the pass which comes to the edge of the box.71’ Attempt blocked. Ryan Bertrand (Southampton) right footed shot from outside the box is blocked.73’ Attempt Missed. Southampton win a corner, it’s whipped into the near post, comes off Austin’s head and deflects off. Graham Poll says it was a foul because Caballero has both feet in the air and is touched. You can’t do that. Southampton haven’t been robbed.82′ GOAL! Morata has scored with his second touch! Azpilicueta provides a brilliant assist, crossing from wide right but Morata’s positioning and movement is perfect to take advantage of it. He heads low past the goalkeeper 86 seconds after coming on the pitch!87’ Attempt Missed: Austin attacks a cross early on the volley but boots it over. Hope beginning to fade for Southampton.
