German stars Timo Werner and Kai Havertz scored their first Premier League goals for Chelsea, but there were familiar failings in the home team's ranks and Frank Lampard's men were punished.

Chelsea were thrilling going forward at times, with Werner, who also had a goal disallowed, netting twice before setting up Havertz for what looked set to be the winner.

But between Werner's double and Havertz's strike it had been the same story for the Blues' defence, with Danny Ings and Che Adams taking advantage, and바카라 웹사이트Walcott's shot from the edge of the penalty area in stoppage time was nodded in by바카라 웹사이트Jannik Vestergaard to pinch a point.

Werner had given Chelsea a 15th-minute lead when he burst from the left channel, selling a dummy to바카라 웹사이트Jan Bednarek before taking a circuitous route around a gaggle of defenders and firing low beyond Alex McCarthy.

Chelsea were two clear after 28 minutes as Werner raced onto Jorginho라이브 바카라 pass, held off Bednarek and flicked the ball coolly over McCarthy before heading in.

Ings ran through a dozing defence to haul Southampton back into contention in the 43rd minute, and a Chelsea calamity came early in the second half.

The error-prone Kepa pulled out of a challenge to meet an바카라 웹사이트under-hit backpass from Kurt Zouma, and that allowed Adams to win the ball and thrash in from close range.

Havertz turned in a short pass from Werner to nudge Chelsea 3-2 in front two minutes later, but there was a sting to come.

A Southampton free-kick was only half-cleared and Walcott – a teenage star at St Mary's who has returned on loan from바카라 웹사이트Everton – lashed a strike goalwards, with Vestergaard applying the decisive touch.

What does it mean?

Werner and Havertz became the fifth and sixth Germans to score in the Premier League for Chelsea, following Michael Ballack, Andre바카라 웹사이트Schurrle, Antonio Rudiger and Marko Marin, but questions persist at the back. Kepa is a consistent liability, which was borne out again here, and it reeks of neglect that Chelsea라이브 바카라 central defence is still so patently not up to the job.

Lucky 13 for Werner

Southampton had kept opponents down to바카라 웹사이트an average of 7.25 efforts on goal in their opening four games of the Premier League season, but by half-time here they had faced nine attempts. Werner, who had 11 efforts without reward in his first four league outings for Chelsea, finally got lucky with attempt number 13 and was on punishing form throughout.

Walcott turns on the style

Former Arsenal forward Walcott took a while to get up to speed, but before his vital late role there were signs he was rolling back the years. Good movement and a neat pass into the feet of Adams almost brought about a goal before바카라 웹사이트Vestergaard's equaliser. He made five key passes in the game, out of a team total of eight.
