da esoccer bet: Southampton hosted Chelsea in the day’s early kick off in what was a dress rehearsal for next Sunday’s FA Cup semi-final but given the relegation trouble they’re in, it’s likely they’d have rather won here than at Wembley.
da bet vitoria: It looked as if they might just do exactly that and pile on more misery for the Blues as Dusan Tadic’s first-half goal and a second half strike from Jan Bednarek put the Saints 2-0 up and on course to jump out of the relegation zone, at least for a matter of hours.
Marcus Alonso should have been dismissed as well when Mike Dean somehow missed his stamp on Shane Long, but the fact that he wasn’t was a precursor to an afternoon in which little would go right for the Saints.
Three goals in eight minutes – a double from Olivier Giroud either side of a cool Eden Hazard finish – meant that Southampton ended up with nothing and it was a tough one to take for the Saints faithful.
We’ve taken a closer look at the best of the reaction to the result…
