Eden Hazard ‘puzzled’ by Chelsea’s draw at West Brom

Eden Hazard admits that Chelsea’s 1-1 draw at West Bromwich Albion on Tuesday night left him “puzzled”.

The Blues were on course to go four points clear at the top of the Premier League when Branislav Ivanovic scored on the stroke of half-time.

You cannot win every game and it was important we didn’t lose

But Victor Anichebe conjured an equaliser in the 87th minute to hold Jose Mourinho’s men to a draw at The Hawthorns.

And Hazard, 23, was left looking for the positives following the stalemate.

“It was a puzzling game,” Hazard told Chelsea’s website. “At 1-0 I thought we were managing the match well but we couldn’t get the second goal which would have given us protection and then the game became difficult.

“But it’s still a point even if many people are disappointed. I think this is a point that will count. There were some good things but others less so.

“You cannot win every game and it was important we didn’t lose. We’ll improve in the future and we will try to win the next game. Other teams play tonight and we’ll see what happens.”
