Where to Find Chelsea Southampton FC Statistics Latest Match Data Guide
Needed the Chelsea vs Southampton stats real bad after their latest game cause my mate Dave kept arguing about possession numbers. Started off googling simple stuff like “Chelsea Southampton stats” like a total noob.
First Attempt: Mainstream Sites
Checked all the popular sports pages first. Big names popped up right away. Problem? Every damn site showed different numbers! One said Southampton had 48% possession, another showed 52%. Like how’s that even possible? Felt like they all just guess these stats.
- Site A wanted me to sign up before showing shots on target
- Site B had outdated 2020 data when I clicked through
- Site C straight up crashed during the match replay section
The Official Route Disaster
Figured club websites would settle this. Went to Chelsea’s official site – stats section only showed Chelsea players! Like Southampton didn’t even exist to them. Southampton’s site was worse. Couldn’t find anything except ticket sales and merch ads. Official Premier League page required twelve clicks just to see yellow cards. Who designs this crap?
Reddit & Forums Chaos
Switched to fan communities next. Reddit match threads had people fighting about whether Gallagher deserved that red card. Someone posted a screenshot of some stats dashboard but it was so blurry you couldn’t read numbers. Random forum guy claimed Southampton had higher xG but refused to name his source. Total waste of thirty minutes.
Then I remembered those live update apps. Downloaded two. First one showed lineups but not stats. Second one had stats behind premium paywall even though it advertised “live data”. Uninstalled both right away.
The Spreadsheet Solution
Finally went nuclear. Opened four different browser windows:
- Window 1: Player heat maps
- Window 2: Basic match events timeline
- Window 3: Defensive stats archive
- Window 4: Video replay analysis
Started cross-referencing like some detective. Paused the video to count Southampton’s clearances myself. Wrote everything down in my messy spreadsheet. Took two bloody hours but finally got reliable numbers.
Here’s what actually mattered:
- Corners were 7-3 not 8-2 like sites claimed
- Broja offside three times not two
- That controversial foul happened at 63′ not 61′
Why go through this nightmare? Cause last season I lost a £50 bet over wrong stats. Some clickbait site said Southampton had never won at Stamford Bridge since 2019. Turns out that was league only – they’d won an FA cup match there. Never trusting anyone’s stats again. Now I make my own damn spreadsheets.
Dave still owes me a pint though. That possession stat was exactly 51.7% Chelsea. My spreadsheet doesn’t lie.
