Chelsea slipped to their second Premier League defeat of the season on Tuesday night, losing 2-1 to Southampton at St Mary's.

Despite Raheem Sterling giving the Blues a lead in the 23rd minute, the Saints levelled five minutes later on 18-year-old Romeo Lavia's spectacular goal.

It was then in first-half stoppage time that the home side took a lead they would not relinquish courtesy of a deflected effort from Adam Armstrong.
