CHELSEA EQUAL UNWANTED PREMIER LEAGUE RECORD

Chelsea have matched an unwanted record after they were beaten again away from the Premier League this season. The Blues were on the receiving end of a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Southampton despite taking the lead. To this effect, they have now lost at least two of their opening five games for the second time in the Premier League era. They lost three of their opening five games during the 2015/16 season under manager Jose Mourinho as they failed to successfully defend their league title from the previous season.

New signing Raheem Sterling was the star of the show during the Leicester City game at the weekend after he scored a brace to lead 10-man Chelsea to a 2-1 home win in the league. He made it three goals in two games with the opening goal against Southampton midway through the first half. However, the hosts were level within five minutes thanks to the stunning strike from young midfielder Romeo Lavia who was signed from Manchester City this summer.
