Chelsea, playing without a striker didn’t look to be in too much trouble as this time, it was Willian fed Hazard with a beautiful pass and the Belgian ran through the Brighton defence to net his side’s second goal.

It was also his eighth goal of the season and it ended a drought for the 27-year old who hadn’t scored in eight matches. Besides this, he also has nine assists to his name.

“I think that Hazard could have played better because his level is a very high level,” Sarri said. “He can do more for him and for us.

“But I think after the two injuries, he lost the physical condition. Now he’s improving. In one or two matches he’ll be back at the top,” he added.
