What key moments led to Chelsea's 4-0 victory over Brighton?
Here goes Hazard. He could go all the way as well.
Brilliant.
Cool as you like from the man of the match. He was man of the match, Eden Hazard, and full-time he went over to a young boy in the crowd who proved that if you don't ask, you don't get. He came home and he will be going home with Eden Hazard's match shirt. So in his vest with Willy Caballero and Jeff Shreves, here is Eden Hazard.
Eden, but Willy, first of all, when goals and wins have been hard to come by for Chelsea of late, is that just what you needed today?
Yeah, of course. We need to come back to winning ways and we did it. We did it. We had three points more and we are so happy for the performance of the whole team.
The first two goals in that first ten minutes of play, Aydin, was that the best Chelsea have been for some time? Yeah, we started the game very well.
The combination between Michy, Willian and me, even the midfield were brilliant. So, yeah, we need to do more like this week after week. But then, at the end of the first half, we had a little bit of a problem, but the chance with Thibaut was not here, but Willy was there, so we saved some goals today and at the end of the game we won by 4-0, that's good.
As well as the delight of the goals, there's also a bit of relief because the goals haven't been coming lately.
Yeah, for sure. When you score early, then you think the game is maybe over, but it's not, especially in the Premier League. You never know what's going to happen. But we did well, we defended well, and we scored four goals, so that's it.
Willy, you were involved in two penalty claims from Ezequiel Xolotl. Did you think either of them were? I don't know.
They were for the referee. I spoke with the referee after in the second half. And it's so difficult for them. But, you know, the other day we... We live this kind of situation on our side in the game of the cup. Now it's for them, but, you know, there are things of the game and there are things to talk about now in the newspaper and so on.
So some days it's not good to have VAR.
Yeah, of course. I think we're going to really improve with this. But we need to adapt.
How did Eden Hazard's performance influence the match outcome?
We need more time. That's all.
Does 4-0 also not tell the story of Willy's several stunning saves today? The fact that it was 4-0 as well, it doesn't tell the story of the saves that Willy made.
Yeah, of course. It's 4-0, but also he did a great performance. So everyone who was watching the game can see this. He did well. He deserved this. He did against Norwich three days ago, now today. So he's a great, great keeper.
Career League goals of number 100 and 101 for you. What does it mean to be back amongst the scorers? It's my job. It's my job to score.
But it hasn't been happening lately. Yeah, yeah, I know. But, you know, every game I try to score goals or create chance or create assist. That's why I like to play football, to enjoy on the pitch and score goals. That's what striker, midfield try to do every game.
Will this set you up, ideally, for the game against Arsenal now, midweek, this performance and this result?
Well, I tried to do my job today. Now we have two or three days to think about the semi-final. And the boss has to choose the best start, the best 11 for this game. And I'm so happy for my game today and try to continue in this way.
You certainly did your chances of selection no harm at all today. One last job for you. Eden is Premier League man of the match. Could you do the honours, please?
Eden, please.
Thank you, Willy. Thank you, Willy.
We will talk Eden Hazard in a second but just overall thoughts on the game because the 4-0 scoreline suggested it was straightforward, was it?
No, it wasn't. We all know that Chelsea started well. Brighton didn't start the way they wanted to start. But when you look at the 4-0, if you're in your car, you must go like, oh, an easy Chelsea win. But it wasn't. And Caballero had to make some great saves, although at the beginning he was a bit suspicious. That's the word I like to use. He was a bit suspicious at times, coming up and grabbing the ball, didn't read that too well.
