Southampton boss Mark Hughes hailed Eden Hazard as a devastating player after Southampton’s 2-0 FA Cup loss to Chelsea on Sunday.

“They have some of the best players when you play on the counter attack. Hazard is devastating. We took the centre-halves off and forwards on, but just came up short,” Hughes said.

“We needed to hit them (the strikers) higher up. The second half we were better.”
