It's an incredible accomplishment to stay with a top club that long, and the Spaniard earns yet another milestone appearances with today's spot-start in place of Reece James. He's dispossessed at first, but the ball sticks in the ground, and Sterling recovers to hit the loose ball home. The England international chooses to go by himself, and his hesitation sees Bella-Kotchap produce a stunning tackle to keep Sterling from even having a hit. The Southampton defense is carved to pieces by Mount and Havertz, with the former finding Sterling at the top edge of the six-yard box. Sterling wins a foul and makes his way gingerly to his feet, but there's no further punishment for the Saints captain. The Belgian touches to his right and rifles a vicious hit that flies by Koulibaly and beats Mendy to the near post. Azpilicueta puts a dangerous change out for a corner, and Saints take advantage of the set-piece. On the first, he nips the ball off Azpilicueta but fails to take the split-second shot, and his pull-back for arriving reinforcements is blocked. Armstrong is left all along in the center of the 18-yard box, and his finish is a simple one as he collects the cross from Perraud and deposits it moments before halftime. Edouard Mendy appears to have had it covered, but Cucurella flings his body in to block it before the ball reaches the goalkeeper. He's positioned on the line next to Mendy, and he stops a free header to Salisu. 56th min: Chelsea want a penalty as Perraud brings down Sterling in the penalty area, but Michael Oliver waves play on.
