Demba Ba scores a double on his Chelsea debut to help the FA Cup holders record a come-from-behind win over Southampton at St Mary's Stadium.

Demba Ba scored a debut double to help FA Cup holders Chelsea come from behind to beat Southampton 5-1 in the third round this afternoon.

The £7m signing from Newcastle United netted the Blues' equaliser after Jay Rodriguez had given Southampton a surprise lead.

Jason Puncheon's through-ball found the former Burnley striker, who calmly slotted home to give the Saints a 22nd-minute advantage.

Ba's first Chelsea goal came in true poacher's fashion 12 minutes later as he poked Juan Mata's deflected shot into the net on the goalline.

Victor Moses completed a first-half turnaround when he drove home low after smart interplay with Ashley Cole on the left.

Shortly into the second period, Branislav Ivanovic rose to head in Mata's cross and put Chelsea firmly in control of the tie.

A second from Ba, who applied the finish to a precise Eden Hazard pass, all but secured Chelsea a place in the fourth-round draw.

Substitute Frank Lampard capped a fine Blues comeback with a fifth from the penalty spot, after his original pass had been handled by Steve Davis.
