Sarri expects 'a lot of goals' from Higuain and Hazard partnership

Maurizio Sarri expects Gonzalo Higuain and Eden Hazard to bring out the best in each other after both scored twice in Chelsea's 5-0 win over Huddersfield Town on Saturday.

After making his Premier League debut in Chelsea's humiliating 4-0 defeat to Bournemouth on Wednesday, Higuain enjoyed a rather more fruitful outing against the seemingly doomed Terriers in his Stamford Bridge bow.

Higuain opened his Chelsea account 16 minutes in, finishing after being released by N'Golo Kante, and Hazard made it 2-0 from the spot just before the interval.

Hazard got his second in the 66th minute when rounding goalkeeper Jonas Lossl, and Higuain followed suit a few moments later – his thumping effort deflecting off Terence Kongolo on its way in, and David Luiz wrapped things up.
