    Cesc Fabregas plays a ball over the top and Chelsea defender Marcos Alonso thinks it's a time for a flying volley. It was not. The Blues win a corner though.

    Chelsea cut Southampton's defence apart for the first time in about 20 minutes and Eden Hazard has a chance to curl home a second. Instead he tries to find Diego Costa but his pass is cut out. A waste.

    Southampton already break at speed but Blues defender Cesar Azpilicueta is able to cut out the threat. Almost spaces at the back there for the Saints to exploit.

    Chelsea haven't kept a clean sheet since I drafted Cahill into my fantasy team - apologies all Chelsea supporters.

    Duncan. - a very happy Newcastle fan.

    Chelsea have had a good little spell - moving the ball quickly. But Southampton defended equally well.

  10. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 35 mins

    N'Golo Kante goes on a brilliant dribble, which is blocked. Marcos Alonso puts in a cross, blocked. Diego Costa goes down under pressure from Steven Davis and wants a penalty. He doesn't get one, it would have been weak.

    Nemanja Matic has a shot from 20 yards, which is saved by Fraser Forster. It's all go at Stamford Bridge.

    Southampton are causing Chelsea problems and Sofiane Boufal wins a free-kick, which Thibaut Courtois does well to punch clear under pressure.

    Southampton are spraying the ball round well at the moment. You wouldn't think they don't really have anything to play for.

    Enjoying live text of the game but really want to know the answer to that snooker question now please. Cheers.

    You're in the wrong place then, I'm afraid, Andy. I won't know the answer unless it's Ronnie O'Sullivan. Or snooker.

    Chelsea have had a few moments of sloppy defending and they have paid a heavy price there as Oriel Romeu was free to score from close range.

    Now it is getting interesting. Stamford Bridge stunned by that.

    Excellent goal. Chelsea did not defend that well. Gabbiadini cut the ball back and Romeu tucked it away. Southampton were coming into the game - it was good play by them.

    Southampton aren't sitting back on their leveller and they have a free-kick which Steven Davis plays past everyone and out for a goal-kick.

    Big goal in the title race?published at 20:10 British Summer Time 25 April 2017

    Chelsea were looking comfortable but now Southampton are level. Manolo Gabbiadini's shot is saved by Thibaut Courtois and Oriol Romeu - a former Chelsea midfielder - scores his first goal in over a year from about four yards into an empty net.

    A big goal for him - and a big goal for Spurs.
