Chelsea ace Hazard hails Conte's new-look attack plan

Chelsea ace Eden Hazard has hailed the new-look forward trio of manager Antonio Conte's.

Hazard played as a false nine with Willian and Pedro either side in a three-pronged attack for victory over Huddersfield Town.

He told BT Sport: "We had a bad game against West Ham. When things happen like this we need to bounce back.

"There was fantastic movement from the front three. Well, when you have the players we have...

"The manager wants us to move a lot, not stay in the same position. We scored three goals, the fans will be happy."

Hazard added: "We have a lot of games in a short period but since I came to Chelsea, every year is the same.

"Yes, we want to rest a bit more but it's not possible so we are looking forward for the rest of the season."
