Former Chelsea star Jimmy-Floyd Hasselbaink has written off his old club’s title chances due to their ‘leaking defence’.

Frank Lampard’s side looked on course for three points in their Premier League clash against Southampton at the weekend.

But Saints defender Jannik Vestergaard pinged home a 92nd-minute equaliser for a 3-3 draw and a point apiece.

He said: “No, Chelsea are not contenders [for the title].

“They are leaking too many goals. It is a breath of fresh air to see them going forward with the likes of Mason Mount and Werner.

“But the defence is a worry, if they cannot improve the centre-backs and goalkeeper it is a concern.

“Alisson wins Liverpool points, but that doesn’t happen with Kepa. Chelsea need to improve in that area.”
