This was Chelsea's sixth loss at Stamford Bridge over the course of the 2019-20 season. The Blues have been beaten by Liverpool, West Ham, Bournemouth and Southampton.

The Blues were definitely the second-best team on December 26 at Stamford Bridge. Ralph Hassenhuttl's boys led by Michael Obafemi and Nathan Redmond secured a massive three points against Chelsea. Redmond's goal, in particular, was the perfect example of a well-practised team move which was completed by a sublime finish past Chelsea custodian - Kepa Arizzabalaga. In doing so, the Saints moved up to the 14th spot in the Premier League table with back-to-back wins. Meanwhile, Chelsea fans will be disappointed with the team's performance on Thursday, especially after the previous 0-2 win against London rivals - Tottenham Hotspur. Can Frank Lampard and Co. finish in the top four this season?
