What was the significance of Chelsea's 1-0 victory over Liverpool?
Moses.
And it's in.
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.
Guys, well played. Eden on a big day for you.
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.
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?
Excuse me.
How did Olivier Giroud score the winning goal against Liverpool?
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.
One more question before you have another sip of water. Tell us about the celebration, straight to David Luiz.
Yeah, he's a good friend of mine. What do you have to say?
Every time you go to David Luiz, sometimes you stay on the pitch.
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.
Eden, just tell us how this guy helps your game, just having that kind of sounding board to play off.
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.
What are the implications of Chelsea's win for the Champions League race?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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. 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.
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.
Massive results, says Eden Hazard.
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. The fact that Giroud played so well today, got the winner, maybe looking at a cup final place as well.
What did Eden Hazard say about the team's performance?
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?
