EPL: Sarri reveals one player that helped Chelsea in 2 – 0 victory over Bournemouth

Chelsea manager, Maurizio Sarri, has revealed why his side were able to defeat defensive-minded Bournemouth on Saturday.

The Italian also hailed the performance of his star forward, Eden Hazard, for helping the Blues maintain their 100% start to the new season.

Chelsea had to bide their time against Eddie Howe’s side and eventually broke the deadlock with 18 minutes remaining through second half substitute, Pedro.

Hazard put the game to bed with a classy strike.

It was Chelsea’s four wins from four games under their new manager.

Sarri told Sky Sports, “They (Bournemouth) defended very aggressively and made the situation not so easy. Usually this kind of match you can win in the last 20 minutes and we did.

“I don’t know if we are able to win something this season, but Eden Hazard is very important to us.

“In the first half it was very difficult to play – we needed to move the ball at a higher speed – but it wasn’t easy.

“We needed more movement without the ball, but I think we did well. I’m really very happy with my players at the moment.

“I don’t want to think about the last four matches – it’s better to think about the next one.”
