James Ward-Prowse did it again.
The free-kick specialist delivered another masterful goal Saturday, giving last-placed Southampton a priceless 1-0 win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. The pinpoint strike was the English midfielder’s 17th direct free-kick goal in the Premier League, one short of the record held by David Beckham.
Chelsea since spending $356M in the winter transfer window:
