After Liverpool's victory in the big match with Tottenham, the Chelsea of Maurizio Sarri remains in the wake of the Reds. The Blues go against Cardiff, but Hazard's hat-trick overturns the game and makes Stamford Bridge rejoiced before Willian's poker. Manchester City is walking 3-0 (Sane, Silva, Sterling) on Fulham. Arsenal drew Newcastle 2-1 thanks to Xhaka and Ozil. Leicester's thudding at Bournemouth: the Rossoneri win 4-2 with a super Fraser. Away victory for Crystal Palace against Huddersfield.
Chelsea take down a Cardiff City poker game (4-1 the final), celebrates Hazard's hat-trick and does not let Liverpool go to the top of the table. However, it was not an easy afternoon for Sarri's eleven: "Sarrismo" also earned a place in the Treccani, but for good thirty-five minutes it was Cardiff's direct game that gave Chelsea a hard time. At 17 'a maneuver from the manual of the "direct football" - punishment of Ralls, the head of Morrison and winning touch of Bamba to anticipate the uncertain Jorginho - gives the advantage to the Welsh.
The Blues at the beginning lack fluidity, then precision with the missed opportunities from Kovacic (excellent deviation of Etheridge), Pedro in three circumstances and Alonso on the set piece.
Then, as usual, he climbs into the Hazard chair and starts dispensing magical games. The Belgian goblin makes the most of Giroud's assistants, preferred to Morata, to guide the comeback of the hosts. At 37 'punishes with a low shot the goalkeeper, after an excellent idea, and at 44' shows plenty of coolness, also taking advantage of the unfortunate deviation of the host defense to crown the comeback of the eleven of Stamford Bridge. In the second half, after the injury to Kovacic, replaced by Barkley, and the thrill caused by Chelsea fans from the diagonal of Reid, just wide, the Blues are rampant.
Hazard makes three, putting his fifth point of the season on a penalty after the crash of Willian. And the Brazilian puts the exclamation mark on the victory of the men of the capital with a delicate conclusion from the limit that confirms the Blues at the top of the Premier.
The Manchester City gets rid of Fulham (3-0) and remains two points behind the leading pair. On his debut season as a starter, the new-Sané dad immediately unlocks the score before the centers of David Silva and Sterling. The Bournemouth tournament continues to bounce: the Rossoneri stand on Leicester (ten minutes from the 69 'for the red to Morgan) for 4-2 thanks to the double of Fraser, to the point from the King's disk and the network of Adam Smith. The answer for Maddison's Foxes from eleven meters and Albrighton is late. The markings of Xhaka and Özil, two of Arsenal's most contested elements, allow the Gunners to violate Newcastle's ground, in the final with Clark.
Three precious points for the Palace on the field of Huddersfield: it is the usual Zaha to give the victory to rossoblu.
