Willian opened the scoring for the Blues at Stamford Bridge in Sunday’s 3-0 victory and then netted again in the second half after Callum Hudson-Odoi had doubled the lead.
The Brazilian has offered Higuain the chance to take Chelsea’s penalty against Sheffield Wednesday but he refused.
Asked by ChelseaTV if Higuain had asked for the ball during the exchange, he explained: "No I want to give him the ball." And he said you take it? "Yes. I wanted him to score the first goal today. But it will come soon."
"We have a great relationship, we know each other inside the pitch,’ Willian continued.
"We know the quality of the players we have in front, a lot of quality players, technical players so it’s great when you have players like Higuain, Hudson-Odoi, Pedro, Hazard, Giroud. It’s good for Chelsea."
