After suffering back-to-back defeats in the Binford League and the UEFA Europa League showdown with Real Madrid, Chelsea celebrated a 6-0 comeback in the Premier League on Saturday (9) with a thumping away win over Southampton. Manager Tucao finally breathed a sigh of relief, saying that the big win was the best response to the fans.
Chelsea started the match with a frantic attack, with striker Dim Warner hitting the post and crossbar twice in just seven minutes. In the 8th minute, Magos Alonso broke the score.
With wave after wave of offense, Masonmont, Dim Warner and Xaviers each scored to give Chelsea a 4-0 lead at the end of the first half. Early in the second half, Diemwana and Masonmont scored one more goal each to make the final score 6-0.
After the game, Du Cao said: We started the game actively looking for goal scoring opportunities, full of fighting spirit in the fight, created numerous threats, and solved the opponent early. This is exactly the kind of performance we want, and judging from the score, we finally gave our fans a satisfactory explanation.
The center of the midfield, Mason Monty, had a great game, scoring 2 goals and 1 assist, and he said that the victory has restored the team's confidence, and that they have to play every game as a final. Chelsea will face Real Madrid in the second leg of the UEFA Europa League round of 8 in the early hours of Wednesday morning (13th). Whether the team can bounce back in time to recover the lost ground after the 1-3 loss in the first leg is an open question.
