Chelsea were frustrated by Southampton’s dogged defending and Fraser Forster's saves on Sunday, going six points clear of Manchester City with a 1-1 draw but missing the chance to open up a bigger lead at the Premier League summit.
After Diego Costa ended a seven-game goal drought for Chelsea, Southampton quickly leveled from the spot through Dusan Tadic in the 19th minute and seized the initiative.
Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois came to Chelsea’s rescue with instinctive saves in the first half. And Chelsea were then repeatedly thwarted after the break by Forster demonstrating why Southampton has conceded the fewest goals this season.
Manchester City wasted a chance to put pressure on Premier League leaders Chelsea as the champions crashed to a shock 0-1 defeat at struggling Burnley on Saturday.
