After Hazard scored, the suspense in the game finally came to an end.
Chelsea secured victory at home.
Though Southampton's players caused plenty of trouble for Chelsea throughout the match, the crucial moments saw Chelsea's two superstars, Hazard and Su Luo, rise to the occasion and lead their team to triumph.
At the post-game press conference,
Chelsea's head coach, Antonio Conte, expressed his satisfaction with his team's performance.
"Every player showcased their offensive talents in tonight's game. Without a doubt, this was an incredible match!" he remarked.
"The players gave it their all. This victory belongs to Chelsea."
Three days later, Chelsea traveled to Goodison Park to face Everton.
At present, Everton is enjoying a strong run of form.
They've won five consecutive matches and currently sit in eighth place in the Premier League standings.
Notably, Everton has achieved an impressive eight-game winning streak at home.
It's fair to say they've been a "dragon at home and a worm on the road."
Before the match,
the head coaches of both teams exchanged words in the media.
Everton's head coach, Sam Allardyce, didn't express much confidence in his team's chances.
The reason was straightforward—on paper, Everton's squad simply didn't match Chelsea's strength.
However, Allardyce remained optimistic about Everton's home advantage.
After all, the team had been unbeatable at Goodison Park for eight consecutive games.
"We will beat Chelsea at Goodison Park, that's for sure!" he declared confidently.
"It's undeniable that Chelsea has been phenomenal this season, with Su Luo being a relentless goal-scoring machine. But I must say, every one of Everton's players is ready to give their all."
"We will create a miracle!"
On game day,
at 8:00 PM, Goodison Park was packed with tens of thousands of fans eagerly anticipating the showdown.
For every Everton supporter, there was only one goal: to witness a thrilling victory on their home turf.
Soon, the game kicked off.
In terms of individual talent, Chelsea's players were clearly superior to Everton's.
But when it came to spirit and determination, the Everton players were brimming with positivity.
From the opening whistle, Everton immediately launched into the attack.
Coach Allardyce had fielded his strongest lineup for the game.
Right from the first minute, Everton began piling pressure on Chelsea's goal.
This time, midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin, typically known for his defensive capabilities, surprised everyone by making an attacking play after receiving the ball.
Although Schneiderlin is usually focused on defense, tonight he demonstrated impressive offensive awareness.
Undeniably, Schneiderlin's long pass was pivotal.
His precise ball delivery found winger Aaron Lennon perfectly positioned.
