Hazard added: “I like to score, but it’s not important for me. “The most important thing is to win games. I just enjoy my football and that’s why I’’m on the pitch.
“We knew before the game that we need to score a third goal. When it’s 3-0 it’s harder for teams to get back. But we didn’t and conceded – you feel the pressure. “But we managed the game well.”
Chelsea are fourth place on the Premier League table with 37 points from 17 games
Liverpool currently top the Premier League table with 45 points from 17 games, while Man City are second place with 44 points from the same number of games.
