​Hazard urges Chelsea colleagues to improve defensively

Eden Hazard has urged his Chelsea teammates to improve defensively ahead of their Friday night home game against Liverpool.

The Blues have kept just one clean sheet this season, which came in their 3-0 win over Burnley before the international break.

"We have had three games, three wins [before the draw with Swansea]," Hazard said.

"We played some good stuff. We scored goals. But also conceded them.

"Apart from before the international break [in their 3-0 win over Burnley], we have conceded goals.

"We have always conceded one or two goals, which is a shame.

"It's up to us to work harder defensively, to be more solid, and to score more goals to put on more of a show and win matches."
