EPL: Hazard Speaks On Goal Target, Gives Update On His Ankle Injury
2 min read
Chelsea star man, Eden Hazard has insisted he is more focused on securing wins for Chelsea than getting personal achievements with the Blues.
Hazard set up Pedro for the first goal before scoring also, as Chelsea beat Brighton 2-1 at the Amex Stadium on Sunday.
The win helped Chelsea retain fourth place in the Premier League.
The Belgian international now boasts a combined total of 17 goals and assists in 16 league matches this term, already more than the 16 he accrued in 34 appearances last season.
He now has 98 goals for Chelsea, but admitted he is not focusing on those individual achievements.
Asked if he has a special celebration in mind for his 100th Chelsea goal, Hazard told Chelsea TV, “I don’t know!
“I know it’s close to 100 goals for Chelsea, but that’s not in my mind, I just want to win games for Chelsea, that’s important.”
On an ankle knock he picked up late on in Sunday’s clash, the 27-year-old said he feels confident that it will not hold him back for long.
“I think it’s not too bad, I’ll chat with the doctor, but not too bad.
“I just twisted it a bit.
“It’s a long season. We want to close the gap with the teams above us so we need to win games, and step by step try to be the best team in England.
“I always enjoy my football. We have good players in the team, we understand each other more now than we did at the beginning of the season, so we just want to be on the pitch and create something,” he said.
