Southampton are holding Premier League leaders Chelsea to a 1-1 scoreline in this afternoon's clash at St Mary's Stadium.

Following a subdued start, the Saints had a great chance to go into the lead when Sadio Mane headed across goal from a corner, but John Terry was able to slide in and turn the ball behind.

Moments later, however, the hosts would find themselves in front when Dusan Tadic flicked the ball through for Mane, who then raced clear of Terry before lifting over stranded goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.

However, just as it seemed as if the Saints would be leading Jose Mourinho's charges at the break, Eden Hazard struck back in first-half stoppage time to level proceedings.

The Belgian cut inside Maya Yoshida before finding himself some space and curling a shot into the bottom corner of Fraser Forster's net.
