Leaders Chelsea could only pick up a point as they were held by a resilient Southampton at St Mary’s Stadium.
Sadio Mane gave the Saints the lead when he pounced on John Terry’s hesitancy in defence before lifting his shot past Thibaut Courtois.
Eden Hazard equalised seconds before the interval when he drifted in from the left before firing in low.
Saints finished with 10 men when Morgan Schneiderlin was shown a second yellow card for a foul on Cesc Fabregas.
