Chelsea defeated Southampton winning just their second game across all competitions in February as they push for a Champions League spot.

It took 24 minutes for Christopher Nkunku to find the opener which was followed by goals from Pedro Neto and Levi Colwill. The Blues took a three goal lead into halftime and added a fourth in the second half through Marc Cucurella.

Enzo Maresca will be happy with his team's scoring performance, but also the clean sheet which was the first of February. It was also Chelsea's first clean sheet since Jan. 11 when the Blues beat Morecambe in the FA Cup.

The victory puts Chelsea on 46 points, two ahead of Manchester City before Pep Guardiola's team plays Tottenham Hotspur this week.
