England Premier Soccer League
The traditional powerhouse Chelsea conceded 2 goals in a row after taking the lead and lost 1-2 to Southampton as visitors, 5.4 times the home win.
Chelsea has lost 2 of their 5 league games this season, the worst start in the last 6 years, and the team has lost 1 time against
England Premier Soccer League
The first 5 games with 2 or more losses came in the 2015/16 season, where Che ended up in 10th place, so could it be that they are speculating on Che again this season?
Chelsea opened the scoring in the 23rd minute with a goal from Staanen. The England star, who joined the club this season, has scored 3 goals in his last 2 matches and has been very smooth with his feet.
However, Chelsea were only happy for five minutes before their rivals equalized, with 18-year-old Ravia of Southampton scoring a beauty from the edge of the penalty area to make it 1-1. Southampton went 2-1 up in the first-half stoppage time with a shot from Adam Stang.
After the change of sides, Chelsea tried to step up their offense, but the goal was not enough. On the contrary, Southampton's counter-attacks were more threatening, including Mohammed Sallissoe's header, which was only defended by Thiago Schwarz. Southampton maintained their 2-1 win until the end of the match.
After the match, Chelsea's team leader Tuco criticized his players for only playing 20 minutes of good football, and then they did not have enough motivation, and were too easy to be overpowered by the opponents, which led to the loss. Chelsea have played 5 matches this season.

With only 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, in other words, they have lost 8 points, so it is not good to compete for the title, and it is doubtful whether they can even make it to the top 4.
