Premier League round-up: Southampton, Crystal Palace, Huddersfield, Chelsea
Southampton slipped deeper into relegation trouble as Crystal Palace and Huddersfield won to move away from the bottom three in the Premier League.
Olivier Giroud scored twice as Chelsea came from 2-0 down to win 3-2 and leave Saints five points from safety.
Tom Ince scored a 91st-minute winner to help Huddersfield beat Watford 1-0.
Wilfried Zaha netted twice as Palace beat Brighton 3-2, with all five goals scored in the opening 34 minutes, while Swansea drew 1-1 at home to Everton.
Southampton, who started the day three points from safety, were on track to give Mark Hughes his first league win since being appointed.
But substitute Giroud's introduction sparked Chelsea into life at St Mary's and the reigning Premier League champions moved within to seven points of fourth-placed Tottenham.
Huddersfield jumped to 14th, seven points clear of 18th-placed Southampton, while Palace are six points from danger in 16th.
Jordan Ayew's second-half goal earned Swansea a point against Everton at the Liberty Stadium, but they dropped to 17th.
