Chelsea gave their push for a Premier League top four finish a boost as they fought back from 2-0 down to beat struggling Southampton 3-2 at Saint Mary’s on Saturday.

Southampton raced to a 2-0 lead with goals in either half by Dusan Tadic and debutant Jan Bednarek.

But a brace from substitute Olivier Giroud and a goal from Eden Hazard gave Chelsea the impressive win.

Chelsea had failed to win their last two league games before facing Southampton.

They remain fifth on 60 points, seven points behind fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur in the league table.

Southampton remain in the drop zone on 28 points.

Super Eagles forward Victor Moses was introduced for Eden Hazard with four minutes left in the game.
