Chelsea ‘boss the ball in another way’ - Arsenal legend Henry

Thierry Henry was full of praise for Chelsea on Sunday.

The Arsenal legend believes Antonio Conte's side are not at all vulnerable in defence and actually make it look they are controlling the match when the other team has the ball.

"Not only do the other teams look vulnerable, but they also concede. That's important," Henry said on Sky Sports News HQ after the 2-0 win over Hull City.

"We talk about bossing the game defensively, and being on the ball.

"That Chelsea team can boss the ball in another way; when the other team are on the ball, it looks like they are in control anyway, even though they are defending."

The Blues now sit eight points ahead of Henry's former club Arsenal after 22 matches of the 2016/17 season.
