Chelsea ace Hazard happy for Higuain after Huddersfield brace

Chelsea ace Eden Hazard was delighted to see Gonzalo Higuain get off the mark for their 5-0 rout of Huddersfield.

Both players hit doubles for the rout.

"We try to work with each other, Higuain is a new player but he knows what the manager wants," Hazard said.

"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 [Olivier] Giroud or I play as a striker, we always try and help each other."

After defeat to Bournemouth in midweek, Hazard believes the Blues responded in the right manner with their biggest victory since November 2016.

"I always say when we lose a game, we need to win the game after and we did well today," he added.
