GOAL! SOUTHAMPTON 0-1 CHELSEA – TAMMY ABRAHAM

16:That is such a striker’s goal. Tammy Abraham chases on to the end of a ball and hits the ball in the air above Angus Gunn.

It turns out to be the perfect finish as the ball ends up just over the line.

Eight in eight for Abraham.

11: YELLOW CARD

Jorginho goes into the book for a lunging tackle. No arguments from the Italian with that one.

8:Willian looks like he’s taken a blow here. Ryan Bertrand went in hard on him.

He got some studs on the top of the boot which these days don’t offer much protection so that one will hurt.

1. 55 pm:Gary Neville has given his verdict on Chelses.

He explained: “I think it’ll take time for them to get to where they need to be.

“ These p layers are a lot more technically gifted but less ruthless. I like this new Chelsea and I hope they stick with it.

“I hope Lampard sticks with these players that are coming through because Abraham and Mount have a real chance of being top Premier League players. ”

1. 45 PM:It has not been a happy start to life at Chelsea for Christian Pulisic has it?

The replacement for Eden Hazard can’t seem to get a look in at the moment with the likes of Willian and now Hudson-Odoi preferred.

Just 15 minutes until kick-off now.

1. 30 PM:Alan Smith believes there is excitement around Chelsea after the start Frank Lampard has made at the club.

“There’s excitement around Stamford Bridge. Lampard obviously saw enough in midweek and has given Hudson-Odoi his first Premier League start today. He’s building something.

“It’s early on in the season, but he can’t be dissatisfied with the way it’s heading.”
