Chelsea 2 Southampton 2
Shock: Puncheon's sublime volley earned a point for Southampton after Chelsea led 2-0 at half-time
Apathy
hung in the air. Chelsea supporters did not boo Rafa Benitez until the
very end, although dissent began to stir when Frank Lampard was replaced
by Fernando Torres after 79 minutes.
Impact: Ba scored on his home debut to give Chelsea the lead
As if to
remind Abramovich of their thoughts on this matter, they booed the team
off the pitch and burst into a chorus of: 'F*** off, Benitez, we don't
want you here'.
First choice? Ba celebrates his goal after starting ahead of Torres
Control: Hazard doubled Chelsea's lead just before half-time
As with
the first, it was a threat that ought to have been cleared but Nigel

their right.
Torres for Lampard was not a popular move by Benitez and Lampard did not appear impressed as he ripped off his armband.
