Eden Hazard sets new record

Chelsea cruised to a vital win at home against Sothampton, and it was the Hazard who opened the scoring within five minutes.

The goal was not only important for Chelsea's title aspirations, calming the nerves of supporters, but it was also big for Hazard himself.

The midfielder scored his 15th goal in the Premier League this season, which is more than he has managed in his previous four seasons in West London.

The goal, therefore marks his best ever scoring tally in the Premier League, though his record for league goals seems unattainable at this point, with the Belgian managing 20 goals in a season for Lille.

The goal against Southampton was also his 10th home goal of the season, with only Kane (15) and Lukaku (16) scoring more goals as hosts.
