Sarri says Chelsea "reacted well" after their defeat to Leicester last
weekend, beating Watford 2-1 on Boxing Day.
Eden Hazard scored twice in the Premier League win at Vicarage Road, which
came four days after a loss to the Foxes at home.
Sarri was pleased with how his side responded and believes Chelsea could
have won by more, telling Sky Sports: "I think that we played a good match
with a good level of determination and attention for 90 minutes.
"I think we could have won with another result, we missed three or four good
opportunities in the last 20 minutes but I am really very happy with the
reaction and application for 95 minutes. Today we reacted very well while
playing our football.
"The performance is very important because maybe in the last match [against
Leicester], in the first half, we played better in quality, better than
tonight, but in this match, the level of application was really very good."
Hazard scored his 100th and 101st goals for Chelsea in all competitions on
Wednesday, and Sarri is pleased with how he played as a false nine.
"I think he played very well for the two goals but no only because of that,
he was really very good and to come to play for his team-mates, in open
spaces and with assists.
"I like him in every position, he is a very great player. I think we need
this solution because we need to be more solid in the defensive phase so I
think with this, we can score and become more solid in defence."
