Chelsea boss Benitez explains hooking Hazard

Chelsea boss Rafa Benitez is demanding better from Eden Hazard after hooking him during the draw with Manchester City.

The Daily Mail says Hazard was a favourite of Roberto di Matteo, despite teammates being unhappy with his workrate.

Hazard no longer has the protection of Di Matteo and Benitez said: "We needed fresh legs and a different approach.

"We brought on Moses to play as an out-and-out winger. We want to create chances and score goals, that was the reason we made a change."
