How Chelsea away supporters reacted to two really important shouts

Chelsea’s emphatic 5-1 victory over Southampton at St. Mary’s Stadium was effectively sealed by halftime, allowing fans and players alike to revel in a dominant display.

Raucous Away Support

The traveling Chelsea supporters were in exceptional voice throughout the match. With Southampton’s home crowd largely subdued—and many leaving after the fourth goal—the away end created an electric atmosphere. Whether it was the microphone placement or the long-awaited opportunity to celebrate, the noise from the Blue faithful was unmissable.

Fans broke into renditions of classic Chelsea chants, and their renewed belief in the team was encapsulated in a new addition to the songbook: “We’ve got our Chelsea back.” It marked a turning point in sentiment, as the supporters expressed their growing faith in the team’s resurgence.

Enzo Maresca’s Moment

The evening also provided a significant moment for new manager Enzo Maresca, who has quickly endeared himself to the fans. Chants of “Enzo Maresca” echoed through the stands, with the manager responding with appreciative applause.

Maresca’s strong start has gone a long way toward winning over skeptics who were initially wary of his association with Chelsea’s controversial ownership. Consistent performances like this, coupled with an attacking style of play, seem to be melting away those doubts.

Ownership Gamble Paying Off

Chelsea’s decision to part ways with Mauricio Pochettino after just one season and place their trust in Maresca appears to be yielding dividends. The risk of disruption now looks like a calculated move that’s paying off. With performances like this, even the ownership’s popularity could see a resurgence if success on the pitch continues.

Looking Ahead

If Chelsea can sustain this form, they will solidify their claim to being back among the Premier League elite. The fans, players, and manager seem united in their belief, a crucial factor as they aim to rebuild a winning culture.
