Chelsea suffered a hangover from their away goals defeat to Paris Saint-Germain last week when they were held to a 1-1 home draw by Southampton.

And Cahill’s confession suggests the league leaders’ collective confidence has taken a significant hit after they were dumped out of Europe at the last-16 stage.
