Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri was pleased with their victory at Watford on Wednesday night.

Eden Hazard scored twice as Chelsea gained a hard-fought win at Watford to reclaim fourth place in the Premier League table.

The Belgian opened the scoring when he collected Mateo Kovacic's pass, took the ball around goalkeeper Ben Foster and calmly finished for his 100th Blues goal.

Chelsea's lead only lasted two minutes until Roberto Pereyra volleyed past Kepa Arrizabalaga from the edge of the 18-yard box.

But Hazard grabbed his second of the match in the second half when he converted a penalty after Foster had bundled him over.

Sarri told Sky Sports: "I think we played a good match with a good level of determination and attention for 90 minutes. We could have won with another result. we missed three or four good opportunities but I'm happy with the reaction. It was dangerous for us when they conceded, but we reacted well and we didn't stop playing our football."

On Eden Hazard's performance, he added: "I think he played very well, not only for his two goals, but he was good with his teammates and in open spaces. I like him in every position he is a great player.

"In this moment we need this solution because we need to be more solid defensively and with this system we can score and become more solid in the defensive phase. Maybe in the last match, we played better in the first half than we did tonight, but today the application was very good."
