Eden Hazard was happy to give Maurizio Sarri the reaction he was looking for in Chelsea’s 5-0 win over Huddersfield.

Sarri was critical of his players in the wake of the 4-0 defeat at Bournemouth in midweek but the Blues took their frustration out on rock-bottom Town, with Hazard scoring twice, adding to Gonzalo Higuain’s brace and David Luiz’s late goal.

Hazard thought this performance was one of the best of Chelsea’s season so far.

“I always say when we lose a game, we need to win the game after and we did well today,” he told the BBC. “We played one of the best games of our season and scored five great goals.

“The fans were not happy on Wednesday and now they are so we are happy. We want to keep playing like this, like the manager wants.

“I think he (Sarri) will be happy, because he was wanting a reaction from us and we gave him one.

“We try to work with each other, Higuain is a new player but he knows what the manager wants. He is a great striker and he can score a lot of goals. England is different than Italy and Spain but he has that ability. If Giroud or I play as striker we always try and help each other.

“After this game our confidence is better than two days ago but we play the champions so we know it will be difficult. We beat them at Stamford Bridge so why not again?”
