Eden Hazard was arguably the game's man of the match

Whether it's gracious movement, creative passes or goals worthy of multiple replays, Eden Hazard has all it takes to be rightly considered Chelsea's most influential player. The Belgian continued his fine form this season by putting in an excellent performance against Brighton, getting on the scoresheet twice for his side.

Those goals saw the forward record double figures in terms of goals this season, scoring his 10th and 11th in all competitions, while easily being Chelsea's most outstanding player in attack.

The Brighton defenders simply couldn't live with Hazard's intelligence both on and off the ball and he will seek nothing more but to continue his good form in the coming games.
