Cheslea 1-1 Southampton (Chelsea won 4-3 on penalties)

Chelsea needed penalties to progress to the Carabao Cup last eight after it 1-1 against Southampton in regulation time.

Thomas Tuchel rang the changes as expected with only Reece James, Kai Havertz, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Trevoh Chalobah retaining their place from the Norwich game.

The Blues had to wait until the 44th minute for the opening goal though, with Havertz nodding home a corner from Hakim Ziyech.

Southampton managed to get back on level terms two minutes after the restart thanks to a strike from Che Adams, who got his second goal of the season.

After neither side could find a winner, the game went to a penalty shoot-out where the Blues went on to triumph 4-3.
