What was Chelsea's performance like in their 3-0 victory over West Brom?

Unknown 0:04
On for Hazard again. It's opened up for him! Oh, brilliant! The man who knows how to light up a game.
Dave Jones 0:16
And he certainly did that tonight with two goals for Chelsea. Back in form, 3-0 victory over the bottom side, West Brom. And the next time we see them in the Premier League will be live on Sky Sports at Old Trafford a week on Sunday, starting at one. On the same day, we watch Arsenal take on Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final. Do not miss that. Live cricket for you in the morning. The first of two T20 internationals between New Zealand and England. Early start, 5.30am. You can see extended highlights from seven in the evening. And there is a new show coming your way on Sky One. Wednesday, 10pm.

How did Chelsea's early game nerves affect their performance?

Dave Jones 0:59
Steve Mangan stars in Bliss. Jamie Carragher, was that bliss for Chelsea tonight? It was.
Jamie Carragher 1:05
The first 15 minutes was a little bit ropey for them. Should have gone one down. With the chance, should have been a penalty also for West Brom. But I said before the game that three points was the most important, but they needed a win to give them a big lift. And I think that's what they got in the end. 3-0, could have been a few more.
Dave Jones 1:22
And it's not just about the three points, it's the performance afterwards, and that should give them a big lift. Certainly should, and delighted to say the match winner, Eden Hazard, is waiting to speak to us live from Stamford Bridge. Congratulations, Eden, on the performance and the goals. But as Jamie said, was the performance the key thing for Chelsea tonight, particularly what's happened in the two games beforehand?
Eden Hazard 1:44
Yeah, of course. You know, we showed the response and we did well in front of our fans.

What impact did Eden Hazard's goals have on Chelsea's confidence?

Eden Hazard 1:49
It's always good to play this kind of game. Now we have two games to play against Hull and against Barca. So we are ready. Yeah, I think it's not a good moment for us because we lost two games. But now we are back. We are Chelsea. We are the champions. We need to give everything.
Dave Jones 2:08
Was it a nervous squad? Was there a nervous feeling around the training ground in the build-up to this game?
Eden Hazard 2:15
No, sometimes it happens. You win games, sometimes it happens, you lose. Last year we were champions. The most important thing is to be together, to work together, talk together, and that's what we did. And today we showed great character, defensively, offensively.

Why was the second goal crucial for Chelsea's victory?

Eden Hazard 2:35
Yeah, that's good.
Dave Jones 2:36
We can show you your goals, actually, Eden, if you can see the monitor in there. The first one on Olivier Giroud's first start for Chelsea. Are you going to enjoy playing with him, do you think?
Eden Hazard 2:47
Yeah, he's a great target man. Maybe one of the best in England. So when we pass the ball, we can go around him. Not just me, but Pedro, Willian, when we are playing. Yes, he's a good point of reference. So let's play together. But we have a lot. We have him, we have Alvaro. I can play striker also. So it's not just about him. But yeah, he's a good target man, a good striker.

What did the pundits say about West Brom's chances during the match?

Dave Jones 3:13
Well, two terrific finishes from you tonight, Ed, and that one with the right foot, and then the one with the left foot in the second half as well. How much of the goal could you see from here, and what was your decision process, your decision-making process on this?
Eden Hazard 3:27
On the second one, you know, when I go inside on the pitch, Thierry told me in the national team, maybe I don't shoot enough. I try to take my chance. When I'm in confidence, we can see against Watford, I score the goals when I shoot. And today also, so yeah, I think it comes with instinct. You don't think about a lot, you just think about scoring goals. That's it.
Thierry Henry 3:52
Eden. Well, it's Thierry, sorry. Or coach. Say coach, it's better. Anyway, I wanted to ask you a question and you to explain to people. Why do you always, always look for your striker? We saw it on the first goal, that was a short one.

How did the managers react to the match results?

Thierry Henry 4:13
With Morata on the third one, obviously your second one. that was a longer one too, but you always look for that one too. That's why I always said to you, sometimes go to shoot also, but you do that ever so well. Explain to me why, and to people, why do you always have that in your mind?
Eden Hazard 4:32
Because I just think it's the best decision for me.
