And it's in.

0

18.96 - 26.772 Unknown

And it's Olivier Giroud with the header. And one goal was enough for Chelsea to see off Liverpool at Stamford Bridge, closing the gap in that race for the top four, Giroud and Hazard with Patrick Davison.

28.796 - 30.639 Patrick Davison

Guys, well played. Eden on a big day for you.

0

30.699 - 55.033 Eden Hazard

How big a result is that? Massive, massive result. I think now the target is just to win, be in the top four, try to be in the top four at the end of the season. So if we play like this the last three games, we can have something special at the end of the season. So let's hope for something big. We all work together when we play this kind of game. is a good feeling after the game.

55.494 - 63.35 Patrick Davison

Olivier, have a sip of drink. Olivier, you did get the key goal. Just tell us about the technique, though, because you had a standing start, a loopy cross. Where did you get your power from?

63.39 - 68.942 Olivier Giroud

Excuse me.

Chapter 2: How did Olivier Giroud score the winning goal against Liverpool?

70.104 - 105.36 Olivier Giroud

Are you OK, mate? I'm good. Tired. Go on, tell us. I know Vic, and when he doesn't cross the ball at first intention, he tries to go on his left foot and still trying to cross it. I mean, first ball, so he tries to pass the first defender. He's done it very well. I think there's a small deflection, but... I have to be here in front, first post. It was a great cross and after I just finished it.

106.182 - 110.65 Patrick Davison

One more question before you have another sip of water. Tell us about the celebration, straight to David Luiz.

0

110.63 - 115.255 Olivier Giroud

Yeah, he's a good friend of mine. What do you have to say?

0

115.296 - 119.981 Eden Hazard

Every time you go to David Luiz, sometimes you stay on the pitch.

0

120.081 - 143.32 Olivier Giroud

He was a bit angry against me because I didn't celebrate with the boys, but I was very pleased to dedicate him this goal because he's going through a tough season. Sorry, a tough period. He's coming back and I'm happy for him. But I'm firstly happy for the team, my friend.

144.093 - 148.5 Patrick Davison

Eden, just tell us how this guy helps your game, just having that kind of sounding board to play off.

148.961 - 156.854 Eden Hazard

You can see on the pitch, you know, it's easy to find him. When we are small players like me, we like to have a target man like him.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of Chelsea's win for the Champions League race?

158.176 - 169.594 Eden Hazard

We try combinations, so he did well. He missed one or two today, but I think next game he will be better, but at the end he scored a goal, we won the game, so we are all happy.

0

169.574 - 176.342 Patrick Davison

With Liverpool maybe distracted by the Champions League, Tottenham may be wobbling a little bit. Do you feel if you do win your remaining games, you will make top four?

0

177.062 - 195.143 Eden Hazard

Yes, I do. I think so. It's not in our hands, but it's not dependent on us. We will play, we will win, hopefully, and then we will see the result with Tottenham and Liverpool. But we will give everything.

0

195.427 - 204.188 Patrick Davison

Olivier, last question for you, because up in North London, Arsene Wenger today, just right as we speak, saying goodbye to the Emirates. Just a word on him and what he's done for your career.

0

205.13 - 229.391 Olivier Giroud

Yeah, I mean, I think Arsene Wenger deserves a great tribute, you know, for all he achieved in his career with Arsenal. I don't mean that he finished his career. I hope that he's going to find a new challenge for him because I know that he's still hungry. of competition and to win trophies.

229.892 - 242.646 Olivier Giroud

I just would like to pay tribute to him and a lot of respect for what he has done, what he achieved, and for the money.

243.387 - 256.382 Patrick Davison

Very nicely said. You've also got one last job to do, Premier League man of the match, not for the first time, Eden Hazard. Will you do the honours, please? Thank you, my man. We can share together. Cut it in half.

257.122 - 259.546 Unknown

Massive results, says Eden Hazard.

259.566 - 274.228 Jamie Redknapp

Do you agree, Jamie? Yeah, of course it is. You know, it's momentum. We've got the cup final to look forward to. I think it's going to be a big ask to get into the top four. You know, if you look at Liverpool's fixtures and Tottenham's, they're pretty good. You know, you expect them to get across the line. But I think it's just important getting some momentum.

Chapter 4: What did Eden Hazard say about the team's performance?

279.016 - 287.469 Jamie Redknapp

There's a lot to play for this season. You know, this guy is a... brilliant header of a ball and a good target man and you've got little guys that play with him like Eden Hazard said you need that don't you Thierry?

0

287.95 - 292.837 Thierry Henry

Yeah and especially the way Eden likes to play but you have to say that header is magnificent.

0

292.857 - 306.398 Thierry Henry

I'm not sure because we were talking about it before I think that Sadio Mane touches it anyway anyhow I thought there that Victor Moses was going to play with Eden Hazard but you know what when you have a player like yeah he does touch it and when you have a player like Olivier Giroud in the box just put the ball in the box and we all know what he can do.

0

306.639 - 323.678 Unknown

And do you think Thierry with He's been getting a reputation, a bit of a super sub, but he started today and scored his first goal as a starter in over a year. But with Morata's struggles with injuries and a bit of lack of form, do you think he's given Chelsea that little bit of momentum at this stage of the season?

0

323.698 - 337.874 Thierry Henry

Yes, especially the goal that he scored. So, Fenton, not only in the Cup, but in the league, when he came on, he scored two goals, scored again. But just the way they like to play, I don't know, well... It seems like Antonio Conte won't be there next season. That's the type of striker he likes.

338.274 - 359.941 Thierry Henry

He likes to play, you know, that ball from the wing back to the striker that plays the 10 and then they go on the other wheel back on the other side. Anyway, we're going too much into details. But he likes to have a target man. He had that at Juve with Llorente. He likes a guy that can hold the ball like that. We saw Perle at the Euro, if I remember well. So he likes this type of player.

360.141 - 373.44 Thierry Henry

So now I don't know who's going to come next year. Does he like a striker like that? But one show that you know with Olivier Giroud is that he's going to score your goals when you put the ball in the box, especially when you... I've seen it so many times with Arsenal.

373.881 - 380.671 Thierry Henry

When you were on top, they were not so much on top today, but when you put the ball in the box early for him and you cross that ball, he's going to attack it ever so well.

381.152 - 385.358 Unknown

Liverpool back down to earth with a bump today. Jurgen Klopp now with Patrick Davison.
