EDEN HAZARD

will rightly get all the plaudits for his hat-trick against Cardiff, but playing alongside Olivier Giroud is bringing the best from him. Giroud is the focal point Chelsea have been searching for since Diego Costa ta returned to Atletico Madrid. When Hazard passes to him, it is as if he is playing aying the ball to himself off a wall. Giroud pins defenders, holds up the ball and can deftly play it back to the runner. With Giroud in the team, Chelsea look a far ar more dangerous prospect.
