The blues back to winning ways as they trashed Southampton 6-0.
It was the perfect tonic for the European champions, who were beaten 3-1 by Real Madrid in the opening leg of their Champions League quarter-final on Wednesday after being thrashed 4-1 by Brentford last weekend following the international break.
Chelsea’s coach, Thomas Tuchel said ‘the performance changed, the commitment and the discipline. This is how we want to play and we gave an answer finally because you could see it on the scoreboard.

“It reflects the performance today which was very good.It is always a players’ game but we try to prepare them as well as possible. We are always happy for players to manage the game and they did.
‘You could see they were focused to play to the plan and we did it with concentration, commitment, hunger and of course with quality.”
Braces from Mason Mount and Timo Werner and a goal apiece for Marcos Alonso and Kai Havertz give Thomas Tuchel’s side a much-deserved victory.
