Chelsea midfielder Kante happy playing with 2-goal Higuain

Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante was happy playing with Gonzalo Higuain for their 5-0 rout of Huddersfield.

Kante's new avanced role saw him provide two assists to allow Higuain to open his account in English football.

“It is part of my position to try to play the striker into the best position and I am happy to have two assists," said the Frenchman.

Hazard also netted twice while David Luiz scored with a late header but the Argentine, who scored for fun under Maurizio Sarri at Napoli, could be key for the rest of the campaign.

“He knows how the manager wants to play so he understands what the team need from him on the pitch," said Kante. “He is a worker and a scorer as well."
