Chelsea 3 Southampton 3: Kepa howler and injury-time goal see Blues throw away two-goal lead


TIMO WERNER and Kai Havertz scored their first Premier League goals but it wasn’t enough as Chelsea were held by Southampton.

The German scored a sensational double to put Frank Lampard’s side two goals to the good inside the first half-hour but Danny Ings halved their advantage when he latched onto a through ball from Che Adams and rounded Kepa.

Adams equalised for Saints in the 57th minute after another Kepa mishap but Chelsea restored their lead just two minutes later when Werner set up Havertz for a tap-in.

But a late equaliser from Jannik Vestergaard earned Southampton a deserved point at Stamford Bridge to consign Chelsea to a second 3-3 draw in three games.
