The shocking stats that sum up Gonzalo Higuain's miserable Chelsea start

Chelsea were hoping that Gonzalo Higuain would be the answer to their striker issues, however so far since joining the Blues in January he has struggled to adjust to life in the Premier League.

The 31-year-old had another off afternoon against Cardiff City on Sunday, not winning a single won of his duels, having three shots that struggled to test goalkeeper Neil Etheridge.

He didn't complete a single dribble or key pass, while he as also dispossessed twice during the match and he was completely taken out of the game by the Bluebirds defence.

It really echoed the issues that Higuain has had so far this season since moving to Chelsea.
