Eden Hazard’s double settled Monday night’s London derby at Stamford Bridge, as Chelsea overcame the Hammers 2-0.
The Belgian was an almost unstoppable force throughout, opening the scoring with a world class individual goal midway through the opening period, weaving through four West Ham challengers to find the net.
Chelsea’s incisive football threatened to blow the visitors away in the opening period, but they came again in the second half and went close through Manuel Lanzini and Aaron Cresswell.
Ultimately though, Hazard had too much for the east Londoners, and he sealed the points for his side with a second at the death.
