Gonzalo HIGUAIN scored in Chelsea’s 3-0 win against Watford.
The former Argentina international forward scored his fifth goal in the Premier League. A pass played in by Pedro into the penalty area found Gonzalo HIGUAIN who chipped the ball over the oncoming goalkeeper.
After the match, Chelsea coach Maurizio SARRI spoke about HIGUAIN’s future at the club. Here’s what he had to say:
“”If he’s staying then we can do very well in the next season. I don’t know about Gonzalo Higuain’s future, you have to ask the club. But for a striker it is not easy to play here, when you’re used to playing in Spain and Italy.
“It’s not easy to adapt to this competition because it’s different physically.”
