'Giroud is the best in the world'

The Frenchman provided two assists for Hazard in the match, while holding up the ball magnificently throughout the match.

Hazard told the club's official website: "Olivier’s a target man, maybe the best in the world, I think so."

"When he gets the ball he can hold the ball and we can go in deep with him, so for us it’s a pleasure to play with him.

"When Alvaro [Morata] was playing it’s completely different, he’s a different player than Olivier, but they both have great qualities, so I’m happy to have good strikers in the team."

Chelsea's win sees them sitting on top of the Premier League, level on points with Liverpool but marginally ahead on goal difference.
