Hakim Ziyech (Mount 69’) – 6 Clearly wanting to join the fun, Ziyech’s weak shot could only roll well wide of the post.

SOUTHAMPTON RATINGS: Fraser Forster – 5 The keeper was grateful for the woodwork when Werner twice should have scored in the opening eight minutes. He put in a great save to deny the German scoring a third for Chelsea in 20 minutes. Two brilliant saves just before half-time denied Mount’s deflected shot and Loftus-Cheek’s deflected header.

Tino Livramento – 4 Two very different stories of fullbacks when it came to Livramento and Alonso, with the Southampton man struggling against his counterpart.
Getty
Jan Bednarek – 4 Part of the miscommunication which caused Ward-Prowse to unintentionally play in Werner, with both red shirts unable to stick to the Chelsea man’s pace. Denied Werner from getting his hat-trick in the final minutes.
Getty
Mohammed Salisu – 3 A very shaky start for the 22-year-old who gave the ball away several times in the opening 15 minutes. He was easily brushed aside by Havertz and Werner for Chelsea’s fourth.
Getty
Kyle Walker-Peters – 5 Played in Che Adams in a rare moment of attack for Southampton in the second half.
EPA
James Ward-Prowse – 3 A bad error from the Saints captain, who bizarrely headed a clearance in the path of Werner to slot home for Chelsea’s third.
AFP
Oriol Romeu – 4 An afternoon cut short as the former Chelsea man was the one to give way as Ralph Hassenhuttl looked to limit the damage 36 minutes in.
Getty
Stuart Armstrong – 4 The Scotsman returned to the starting line-up and though he racked up the most tackles of his team, he was unable to make any impact on the front foot.
AP
Mohamed Elyounoussi – 4 Saw little of the ball to make an impact, it will be a game for the front three to forget and move on.
EPA
Adam Armstrong – 4 Attempted a couple of dribbles and tried a shot very early on, but Armstrong was taken off at half-time in a summary of how poor Southampton were and how little Armstrong influenced.
Che Adams – 4 A tough afternoon for Adams, though he could have found a consolation goal when Walker-Peters found him in the box, with the resulting shot seeing Mendy make his first real save of the game. AP
SUBS: Yan Valery (Romeu 36’) – 4 A very early change in the first half to add some added protection to a weak Southampton defence.
Getty
Ibrahima Diallo (A Armstrong 46’) – 5 Almost immediately made an impact when found Walker-Peters, who’s cross forced Mendy to deny Adams in a rare moment for Southampton.
AP
Will Smallbone (Livramento 73’) – 5 Tried to add a little bit of energy and desire but both fizzled out. Getty
CHELSEA RATINGS: Edouard Mendy – 6 The Senegalese goalkeeper had plenty of time to bask in the sun on the South coast and look ahead to Chelsea’s clash at Real Madrid in midweek.
PA
Andreas Christensen – 6 Part of an unchanged back three from their defeat against Real Madrid, Christensen was confident in his defending and in the air.
EPA
Thiago Silva – 6 An easy day in the office for the 37-year-old, who was later hooked with Thomas Tuchel looking to rest the veteran’s legs ahead of a big midweek clash.
EPA
Antonio Rudiger – 6 At 6-0, it was no surprise to see the German have his own effort from distance, following that blinder against Brentford.
PA
Ruben Loftus-Cheek – 7 Playing in an unfamiliar right wing-back position, Loftus-Cheek was given plenty of time to roam and charge forward, setting up Alonso’s goal having run into the final third to swing in the ball for Mount to lay off for Alonso.
Getty
N’Golo Kante – 7 Found himself in front of goal minutes after the restart and fancied a goal for himself, although his effort was saved by Forster and deflected into Werner to score his second of the game.
EPA
Mateo Kovacic – 7 The Croatian midfielder has had to be patient in Chelsea’s last two defeats, but he proved worthy of a starting place in the Champions League, controlling play in the middle.
Getty
Marcos Alonso – 8 Spaniard found the net after good work by Mount. Given way too much space on the left to cross to Pulisic in the build up of Mount’s second. Came close to getting a second.
AP
Mason Mount – 9 Controlled Loftus-Cheek’s ball to perfection when he chested it down before laying it off for Alonso to score, before netting Chelsea’s second with a low drive to Forster’s right. Added his second of the game when he slotted home Pulisic’s saved effort.
EPA
Kai Havertz – 7 Having watched his German teammate hit the woodwork three times in the opening half-hour, Havertz couldn’t have had an easier goal when the ball bounced off the post into his path for him to slot home. Absolutely delightful skill to skip over challenges and leave Livramento for dead.
EPA
Timo Werner – 9 One of his best performances in a Chelsea shirt. Werner should have scored a hat-trick within 20 minutes after seeing his efforts twice bounce off the woodwork, with Forster putting in an excellent save to deny him at a third time of asking. Finally scored on the fourth attempt, before again hitting the post again in the 30th minute. Tapped in a rebound followed a Forster save just minutes after the restart.
EPA
SUBS: Christian Pulisic (Havertz 46’) – 6 Should have scored Chelsea’s sixth goal when his strike was kept out by Forster before Mount scored the rebound.

Reece James (Silva 63’) – 6 As he continues to build up his fitness following an injury earlier into the season, James saw his shot bobble just wide of the post.
