Eden Hazard: Chelsea midfielder insists his team must improve defensively after dropping two points behind Manchester City

EDEN HAZARD has insisted Chelsea must improve defensively after drawing 2-2 against Swansea last weekend.

Chelsea put an end to their 100 per cent start to the Premier League season at the Liberty Stadium.

And Hazard, 25, said his team must do better defensively after dropping two points behind Manchester City.

He told SFR Sport: "It's still a good start to the season.

"We had three games, three wins. We've played some good stuff.

"We've scored goals. We scored them again today, but also conceded them.

"Apart from before the international break, we have conceded goals. We have always conceded one or two goals, which is a shame.

"It's up to us to work harder defensively to be more solid, and to score more goals to put on more of a show and win matches."

David Luiz rejoined the Blues for £32million on transfer deadline day and will look to improve Chelsea's defence.

Diego Costa scored four goals in as many Premier League games so far this season but also already picked up three yellow cards.

But Hazard said that the Spaniard has still his team-mates behind him.

He said: "We love him, that's the most important thing.

"We love him, he's very important for us. He scores important goals. He's a great player, a great goal scorer, and we're very happy to play with him."
