Maurizio Sarri wants answers after Bournemouth thrashing

Gonzalo Higuain and Eden Hazard each scored twice as Chelsea claimed a 5-0 Premier League victory over Huddersfield to ease the pressure on head coach Maurizio Sarri.

On-loan Juventus striker Higuain, who enjoyed the best season of his career under Sarri at Napoli in 2015-16, struck after 16 minutes before curling in the fourth from 25 yards out.

Hazard, who has been singled out for criticism by the Blues boss, converted a penalty before half-time and netted his second after 66 minutes to take his season's tally to 15.

Huddersfield were well beaten and conceded a late fifth, credited to David Luiz after a wicked deflection off Elias Kachunga.
