Chelsea made it three consecutive Premier League away victories after running out comfortable 3-1 win at Southampton.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Frank Lampard’s men raced into a 2-0 lead through goals from hot-shots Tammy Abraham and Mason Mount before Danny Ings halved the deficit for the hosts.<\/p>\n

N’Golo Kant\u00e9 restored their two-goal cushion just before the break and it seemed the game was done and dusted, but tell that to Michy Batshuayi who converted the Blues’ fourth late on.<\/p>\n

With the dust settled, here are five things we learned from this encounter\u2026<\/p>\n

Going into this game Chelsea had failed to score in seven of their last 12 league matches on the road (four wins, two draws and six defeats).<\/p>\n

This would have given Southampton a confidence boost prior to kick-off, but manager Ralph Hasenh\u00fcttl and his team know that in some cases the future isn’t always determined by the past. Lampard is steadily turning his relative young chargers into fearless scorers on the road.<\/p>\n
