Chelsea smashed six goals past Southampton on Saturday to record the joint-fourth biggest away win in Premier League history.

Chelsea smashed six goals past Southampton on Saturday to record the joint-fourth biggest away win in Premier League history.

Mason Mount and Timo Werner each scored twice at St Mary's, while Marcos Alonso and Kai Havertz were also among the goals.

It could have been even worse for Southampton as Chelsea were far from at their clinical best.

Werner will be disappointed to have missed out on a hat-trick, after hitting the woodwork three times.

All of Chelsea's goals came inside the opening 55 minutes.

Southampton fans will likely have been fearing a much heavier defeat at that point.

After all, many of them will have been present at the very same stadium in October 2019, when Leicester City thrashed the Saints 9-0.

Leicester's 9-0 win over Southampton remains the biggest margin of victory for an away team in EPL history.

Second is Manchester United's 8-1 win at Nottingham Forest in 1999, while Liverpool's 7-0 victory at Crystal Palace in December 2020 is third.

In terms of away wins by a six-goal margin, there have been two 7-1s. They were recorded by Tottenham at Hull in 2017 and by Forest at Sheffield Wednesday in 1995.

As you can see below, 6-0 is a much more common scoreline.
