The surprise Chelsea star who stole the show in emphatic victory over Southampton

It was another fine afternoon for Chelsea as they cruised to victory over Southampton.

The 4-1 victory over the Saints was enough to move the Blues up to fifth in the table and level on points with Leicester City who sit in fourth.

It is expected to be a season of transition for the west London side but what we've seen already is that Frank Lampard has a team that's more than capable of competing in the upper echelons of the Premier League.

Supporters were asked to rate the Chelsea players in the victory over Southampton, and once again it was the young starlets who stole the show.

While Jorginho was the highest rated player, the likes of Tammy Abraham, Mason Mount and Callum Hudson-Odoi all rated highly.

Willian and N'Golo Kante were also rated highly, showing the importance of experience in a team with serious aspirations of reaching the top four.

At the other end of the spectrum was the likes of Cesar Azpilicueta, Kepa Arrizabalaga and Mateo Kovacic who attracted fairly average ratings.

The lowest rating from the South Coast went to Fikayo Tomori who had an average rating of just 5.2, however this can certainly be forgiven considering his performances in recent weeks.

Here's how supporters rated the Chelsea team against Southampton

Jorginho - 8.5

Willian - 8.1

Tammy Abraham - 7.8

N'Golo Kante - 7.8

Mason Mount - 7.5

Callum Hudson-Odoi - 7.5

Michy Batshuayi - 6.9

Christian Pulisic - 6.7

Kurt Zouma - 6.6

Marcos Alonso - 6.5

Cesar Azpilicueta - 6.2

Kepa Arrizabalaga - 5.7

Mateo Kovacic - 5.4

Fikayo Tomori - 5.2
