Eden Hazard: Chelsea Can Win The Premier League If They Do This
Hazard scored Chelsea's second goal in their 3-0 win over Bournemouth on Boxing Day either side of goals from Pedro and a Steve Cook own-goal.
The Blues have now won 12 league games on the bounce, breaking a club record for consecutive top flight wins.
Talk ahead of the Bournemouth game was centred around how Chelsea would cope without star striker Diego Costa and N'Golo Kante.
But Hazard believes their dominating performance against the Cherries proved Chelsea have a squad strong enough to maintain their position at the top of the table.
"Everything is good," Hazard told Chelsea's official website. "The result, the performance, all the players give everything, running 90 minutes so we are happy, we are top of the league and it is Christmas so for the fans this is important and we won this game for them.
"We have different options. Diego we know is the top scorer in the league but we have to find different solutions and we did, with Pedro and me and also Willian can score and we have Michy on the bench, so we have a lot of solutions and we did well."
Chelsea are currently seven points clear of their title rivals, but Liverpool could return to within six if they beat Stoke tonight (5.15pm).
