Enzo Maresca admitted he was relieved after Chelsea climbed to fourth place in the English Premier League with a 4-0 rout of a woeful Southampton team on Tuesday. Maresca’s side got back on track after three successive defeats with a dominant display at Stamford Bridge.

Christopher Nkunku put the Blues ahead and Pedro Neto doubled their lead before Levi Colwill bagged the third just before the break. Marc Cucurella capped Chelsea’s biggest league win since thrashing Southampton 5-1 in December.
