Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois hails "team effort"

Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has said that the Blues' 2-1 win over Southampton in the Premier League on Saturday was down to a "great team effort".

The English champions trailed to a first-half Shane Long effort at St Mary's, but goals from Cesc Fabregas and Branislav Ivanovic continued Chelsea's unbeaten record in the league, which now stands at 11 matches.
