The Blues have a real No.9 who looked like he loved every minute despite playing under pressure on Saturday afternoon
For too long it had been a case of Eden Hazard having to do something special or Chelsea would fail to score, but on Saturday it was a No.9 that stepped up to break the deadlock at Stamford Bridge.
Gonzalo Higuain's clever run allowed N'Golo Kante to slot in a lovely through ball to the striker, who did well in the tight space to fire past Jonas Lossl and open the scoring. It continued a morale-boosting 5-0 result on the night, with all eyes having been on another potential managerial casualty at Stamford Bridge.
