Maurizio Sarri says that himself and Cardiff’s goal to take the lead in this game rather underlined the point. Of course, Cardiff are Cardiff, and impressive as they were at times in this match, you would expect them to swallow a few shoes away at Chelsea. Cardiff sat deep, understandably, and Morata just isn’t the back-to-goal kind of guy you need for that sort of scenario. His lay-off for Hazard’s second, on 44 minutes, was another example. Thereafter, Hazard had his two goals and Chelsea were where they needed to be.
