Chelsea were 2-0 up at half time, but they never looked like settling in for an easy victory. The hunger was portrayed, the mentality that was questioned by the players and the manager over the last few days seemed to have returned in some style as the Blues struck two more against a side that has little to rue about anymore.

A win was important, in fact, quintessential. However, what was more important was to thump Huddersfield and get back to the free-flowing football that they are known for, especially under an attacking manager.

Eden Hazard, who had an enjoyable outing, received a sharp ball from Barkley and without any fuss, rounded the keeper and placed the ball into the back of the net. Owing to his ability to flip-flop past opponents and the form he was in, he should he netted a couple more. But as we all know, Hazard is arguably the most unselfish forward in world football.

Gonzalo Higuain then did his confidence a world of good by netting a screamer from about 25 yards out.

David Luiz, who had found himself free a number of times this evening, was once again in acres of space from a corner. The Brazilian made no mistake and therefore, scored his second of the campaign to complete a five-star performance.
