Higuain lauded after Huddersfield triumph

Speaking to Sky Sports, Telegraph writer Matt Law said there were encouraging signs for the Blues in our 5-0 thumping of Huddersfield on the weekend with Gonzalo Higuain proving key to Maurizio Sarri's system.

The Argentinian scored twice and linked up well with Eden Hazard, who also netted a brace against the Terriers in our biggest win of the season.



According to Law, the Blues showed clearer signs of 'Sarri-ball' with Higuain up front.

‘What you could see on Saturday, was that with Higuain, with a proper striker, you could see how the system is meant to work in the attacking areas," he explained.

‘Hazard started on the left but he was playing very close to Higuain, almost like a partner, and it wasn't breaking down any more. They, along with Willian, were working in tandem and they were creating chances.

‘They looked dangerous. For that style of football it was very encouraging for them.’
