Graeme Souness pointed out after Chelsea’s loss at Everton that if you shut down Eden Hazard, Maurizio Sarri’s side have very little about them.
That bore out at Goodison Park — a ground Hazard has failed to score at in all seven of his Premier League appearances there. Keeping up that habit led to more dropped points for Sarri’s boys.

David de Gea did not have the best of times against Arsenal but his importance to Manchester United was highlighted in the Wolves game.
United can lay claim to the best backup goalkeeper in England but Sergio Romero remains just that — backup. De Gea would probably have saved both of Wolves’ goals with his legs.
Romero cannot be put at fault yet this is a lesson for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. With Real Madrid chasing him, De Gea is priceless if United want silverware.
