Premier League: Southampton beat Chelsea 2-1 at St Mary's
Saturday 30 March 2013 20:00, UK
Southampton moved towards Premier League safety with a 2-1 win over Chelsea at St Mary's.
Speaking after the game, Chelsea boss Benitez was disappointed to lose ahead of Monday's FA Cup quarter-final replay against Manchester United. Benitez said: "You have to be really disappointed when you do not win. In the first half we did not play with the intensity required. In the second half we were much better and had more chances but the decisions in the final third were wrong. At least we had chances." Southampton's victory followed on from recent home wins over Manchester City and Liverpool, and manager Mauricio Pochettino was delighted with another three points. "We thoroughly deserved this win over Chelsea," said Pochettino. "We played very well so we are really happy with the performance and the result. Victories give us confidence in the job that we are doing."
