The problem for Frank Lampard is simple to identify: place his defence under enough pressure and it will crack in the end. For all the money lavished on their attack, there is still no hiding Chelsea’s flaws at the back. They remain a mess without the ball and, until there is an improvement, the worry for Lampard must be that all the good work from Timo Werner and Kai Havertz at the other end will go to waste.
This was a farce. An occasion that should have been remembered for Werner and Havertz scoring their first goals in the
Premier League somehow finished with
Chelsea getting themselves into an awful tangle and Southampton pressing for a dramatic winner after hauling themselves level through Jannik Vestergaard’s equaliser deep into stoppage time.
