Premier League leaders Chelsea have extended their lead on the League standings to seven points after beating visiting Southampton 4-2 on Tuesday night, April 25, 2017 at Stamford Bridge.
Antonio Conte has reinstated Eden Hazard and Diego Costa into the starting lineup as Chelsea host Southampton at Stamford Bridge.
Costa struck eight minutes into the second half when he held off another ex-Chelsea man, Ryan Bertrand, to head in Cesc Fabregas' right-wing cross.
Nine days after suffering their 2-0 defeat against Manchester United at Old Trafford, which gave Tottenham renewed hope of a late surge towards the title, Chelsea bounced back with a win that now heaps huge pressure on Spurs to match them with three points at Crystal Palace on Wednesday.
Dusan Tadic worked Courtois with a skidding effort and Gabbiadini hit the side-netting after again being left unmarked at a corner, moving Conte to angrily kick a bag beside the dug-out.
"We have to try and exploit every single moment to send always the right message". We must be ready and prepare for the next game in the right way.
"In my team I don't want selfish players".
Gary Cahill missed the Spurs game following gastroenteritis, but trained on Sunday and Monday and could return for a Chelsea side with no other fitness concerns.
Russian hackers 'targeted Macron campaign'
Mahijoubi also said he could not prove that the hackers were linked to Russian Federation. Russian government officials have long denied claims of state-sanctioned hacking.
The club captain came off the substitutes' bench for his 714th appearance and first in the league since November.
Conte reckons players can only be great by playing as part of a team.
"It's a shame that with the quality of this game we conceded four goals tonight", Puel said.
That's fairly unfortunate for Southampton, who took a harsh loss to Manchester City last weekend after winning two straight matches in the previous weeks.
Antonio Conte's side made the flawless start, opening the scoring after just five minutes.
But the Spaniard issued a reminder of his class by orchestrating a crucial Chelsea victory after being selected ahead of Pedro to play alongside N'Golo Kante and Nemanja Matic in the team's engine room.
With Tottenham breathing down their necks, the Blues needed a good display against Saints and the hosts got off to the flawless start, with Eden Hazard opening the scoring on five minutes from a Diego Costa pass. "They can be the difference".
