Chelsea's stuttering start to the English Premier League season continues, after they suffered a 2-1 defeat at Southampton, despite Raheem Sterling giving them an early lead.
Sterling struck in the 23rd minute with his third goal in two games, but Chelsea's lead was short lived.
Romeo Lavia levelled five minutes later with a thumping finish from outside the area.
Adam Armstrong then turned the match on its head in first-half stoppage time, finishing superbly to round off a slick passing move by the hosts.
Beaten at Leeds United in their previous away game, Chelsea were unable to make an impression on a tireless Saints side in the second half, despite plenty of possession.
Southampton's win moved them to seven points from five games, the same total as Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea.
Meanwhile, Leeds United's Luis Sinisterra has cancelled out Anthony Gordon's first-half opener for Everton, as the two sides drew 1-1 in a pulsating clash at Elland Road.
Strongly linked with a switch to Chelsea, Gordon started and finished the move that led to the opening goal in the 17th minute, cutting in from the left, before collecting Alex Iwobi's pass and slotting the ball through the legs of Illan Meslier.
Leeds striker Rodrigo Moreno missed a golden opportunity to put his side level in the 22nd minute, as Jack Harrison flashed the ball across the box, but the Spaniard failed to connect with the goal at his mercy.
The 31-year-old left the field 10 minutes later, after suffering a shoulder injury in a tangle with Everton keeper Jordan Pickford, and though Leeds continued to enjoy plenty of possession for the remainder of the half, they struggled to break down a stubborn Everton defence.
The home side poured on the pressure straight after the break and got the goal they deserved, when Sinisterra rifled home a bouncing shot in the 55th minute, after several near misses.
Both sides squandered decent chances to add to their tally, as the game ended in a draw that leaves Leeds fifth in the table on eight points, while Everton, who are still without a win this season, climb to 15th spot on three points.
