Chelsea manager Antonio Conte praises his side for their display to earn a 2-0 win against Southampton, which he describes as the "perfect game".

Antonio Conte has hailed his Chelsea players after seeing his side maintain their winning run in the Premier League with victory at Southampton.

The Blues made it four wins from four since changing formation by easing to a 2-0 triumph on the south coast, meaning that they have now scored 11 goals without reply in the top flight.

Chelsea's upturn in fortunes has left them in fourth place in the table, just one point off top spot with a little over a quarter of the campaign now played, and Conte admits to being delighted by what he has seen from his side of late.

"We knew today was a test against a strong side in good shape and form," he is quoted as saying by BBC Sport. "It's important to win games like this - people can increase their confidence and will to work and trust in the work.

"We created many chances. It's the perfect game when strikers score and defenders don't concede. The players deserved this; they work hard in training. When you see this type of game and commitment from your players, it's fantastic for a coach."

Next up for Chelsea is the visit of sixth-placed Everton to Stamford Bridge next Saturday.
