Eden Hazard has insisted the new system implemented by Maurizio Sarri has been helping him in maintaining his form so far.
Hazard ran the show against Southampton as Chelsea continued their unbeaten start in the Premier League. The Belgian international netted one to take his goal tally to seven in eight matches.
He also set up Alvaro Morata as Chelsea crashed Mark Hughes’s side 3-0 to mount more pressure on the table toppers. The 27 year old has been in excellent form and it seems Sarri’s possession based tactics has suited him perfectly.
Efforts have been there to persuade the player to commit his long term future with the club but the attacker is yet to sign on the dotted line. But the way things are shaping it’s only a matter of time before the player put pen to paper to a new deal.
Hazard said, “I don’t know if I’ve played better (than I am at the minute), I’m just playing good football because we are playing good football.
“I want to keep doing it and keep everyone happy. We are enjoying playing well and scoring goals.
“The first half was not so easy, they missed big chances and then we have had a bit of luck for our first goal, but we controlled the match in the second half.
