In a commanding display at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea overwhelmed Southampton with a 4-0 victory on February 25, 2025. The Blues took the lead in the 24th minute when Christopher Nkunku capitalized on a corner, nudging the ball into the net at the far post. Shortly after, Pedro Neto intercepted a misplaced pass, combined with Nkunku, and fired a left-footed shot past the goalkeeper to double the advantage. Just before halftime, Levi Colwill rose above the defense to head in Neto’s well-placed free-kick, making it 3-0. In the second half, a swift counter-attack saw Marc Cucurella finish off a move initiated by Malo Gusto and assisted by Tyrique George, sealing the emphatic win.

Additionally, concerns linger over Cole Palmer’s form, as the midfielder extended his goal drought to seven matches, last contributing an assist on December 1. This victory propels Chelsea back into the Premier League’s top four, while Southampton’s struggles continue, anchoring them at the bottom of the table.
