Hazard hails fantastic chelsea after poor start

Thegoalmac can reveal that Chelsea star Eden Hazard hailed his side's response to a slow start against Tottenham on Wednesday after winning 3-0.


 "It was important to win today because we lost two points last week against Sunderland," the Belgian told reporters.

"We want to stay on top. Today was a very good match, I think. We played very good. It was important.

"Through the first 15 minutes, [it] wasn't good. After the start, we did very well. We created a lot of chances and we scored three beautiful [goals].

"We have six points in front ... and we want to stay there."

Hazard also praised Drogba's contribution during the victory, after the Ivorian helped set up the opener before getting on the scoresheet himself.

Drogba led the line in Diego Costa's enforced absence through suspension, and Hazard said: "He does everything. He is very important for the team.

"Every game, he plays very well. He scored a beautiful goal against Manchester United [in the 1-1 draw at Old Trafford in October] - today again. It's a pleasure to play with him."
