Southampton vs. Chelsea score

 Blues battered by cohesive Saints side for second straight away defeat

Chelsea fell to their second-straight away defeat in Premier League action as Adam Armstrong's goal in first-half stoppage time proved the difference in a 2-1 Southampton result at St. Mary's.

The Blues appeared to be totally disjoined, especially through the second half as Thomas Tuchel attempted to pull any available strings to inspire a comeback. That fell short, and Chelsea once again are left to pick up the pieces as they head back to Stamford Bridge.

Kai Havertz was given another start up front despite early struggles, and he failed to inspire confidence moving forward. Hakim Ziyech, potentially on the move before the deadline, was also deployed up front, and his creativity kept the Blues ticking over, but ultimately there was little service afforded to Raheem Sterling for the England international to build on his match-opening goal.

Southampton, meanwhile, played with cohesion and ruthlessness as they pressed Chelsea in possession throughout the 90 minutes. Romeo Lavia's equalizer was a brilliant hit, as the Belgian picked up his first Saints goal on a day when he provided far more than just that one moment in time. Armstrong's winner on the stroke of halftime was befitting of Chelsea's scatter-brained performance, left all alone on the penalty spot for an easy finish.

The Blues fall to eighth in the Premier League table with the defeat, jumped by Southampton who leap into seventh. Sterling's goal gives the former Man City forward three on the young season, and he'll be asked to put even more on his shoulders with others around him faltering.

Braun Strowman officially returns to WWE RAW.

Braun Strowman formally gets back to WWE RAW by Matty BreischSeptember 5, 2022WWE, Braun Strowman, RAW, Control Your Narrative, Universal Championship WWE fans, I really want to believe that you weren't enthusiastically counting during the time until Control Your Narrative comes to a town close to you, as you may very well be having your ticket discounted not long from now. Why? All things considered, on the grounds that in the wake of watching Karrion Kross escape from CYN to WWE to turn into a consistently present thistle in the side of Drew McIntyre, Braun Strownman has gone with the same pattern, appearing on RAW after purportedly being in converses with return to the organization throughout the course of recent weeks. Everything got going honestly enough, with a four-way, cross-limited time label group match to settle on the main competitor for the WWE Tag Team Championships at present held by The Usos. New Day, Alpha Academy, Los Lotharios, and Street Profits generally advanc...

Serena Williams US Open Retirement

Make sure you're by a TV Monday night for Serena Williams' first-round match at the U.S. Open. It could be the last time we ever get to see the GOAT in action. Make sure you're by a TV Monday night for Serena Williams' first-round match at the U.S. Open. It very well may be the last time we at any point get to see the GOAT in real life. Catch up speedy: Williams, 40, said earlier this month that she plans to "develop away from tennis" after the U.S. Open. Accordingly, each match could be her last. Up first? World No. 80 Danka Kovinić of Montenegro (7pm ET, ESPN). What they're saying: "When Serena was playing in the past, the atmosphere already was electric, so I can't imagine what it'll be out there currently," said seventeenth seed Caroline Garcia. By the numbers: Williams' dominance has been unmatched since winning her first of an Open Era-record 23 Grand Slam titles at this very tournament 23 years ago, when she was only 17. She or...
