Chelsea: 3 crucial games in the Blues' Premier League run

Asked if he had spoken to Hiddink since he was overlooked for the role of Holland manager to which he has since been frequently linked, Koeman - whose team have won five of their past six fixtures without conceding - answered: "No".

Chelsea has just faced Manchester City in the FA Cup and everyone is anxiously waiting for the second leg against PSG.

Solid support job from Oscar who was more than capable of picking up the slack after a surprise early sub for the injured Pedro.

Mind you, Guus Hiddink's side needed a huge slice of luck to win this one.

Ronald Koeman's men went into Saturday's match at St Mary's Stadium on a run of six league games unbeaten and six consecutive clean sheets.

'Miraculous' cache of 7 century-old baseball cards found
At first, he doubted the authenticity of the cards because finding seven at once is "almost impossible". Before this find, there were about 15 of the rare Ty Cobb cards known to still exist, Orlando said .

The equaliser came in the 75th minute after Costa chased down a ball to the endline, passed it back to Cesc Fabregas, who then in an attempt to set up Eden Hazard for the goal found the back of the net.

The goal gave Hiddink's side renewed hope, with Willian going close from the edge of the area.

"Goal!!!! Captain marvel Ivanovic #mmlove #cfclive" - Former Chelsea defender Mario Melchiot enjoyed Ivanovic's victor. "We have to pick points up in both of those because after that we don't play for two weeks".

"I think we deserved more for our performance but sometimes you get more than you deserve and sometimes that's football".

Willian then followed up by providing the corner kick for Ivanovic's match-winning header.

Utilities can request those rate increases, which are allowed under the current renewable energy mandate, in addition to broader periodic rate increases.

"We had a setback when we went 1-0 down, it was a present from our defence, but we did very well in the second half". At the time it appeared he was simply pursuing a penalty, but replays suggested a spot-kick may have been justified and, at 1-0, would likely have secured victory for Southampton.

Thibaut Courtois has been starting all the games since the arrival of Hiddink as manager and the young Belgian will take his place between the sticks against Southampton as well. "He had a big part of that, but also Guus Hiddink showed me when I was a player at PSV in detail what you need to play on a high level".

"I am in favour", he said when asked if he would prefer a quick appointment.

On the other side, Chelsea are improving with each passing week.
