An Eden Hazard double inspired a brilliant Chelsea to the summit of the Premier League following an emphatic 5-0 victory over Everton on Saturday night.

Marcos Alonso, Diego Costa and Pedro were also on the scoresheet in a crushing performance from Antonio Conte's side at Stamford Bridge.

Following Manchester City's surprise draw against Middlesbrough, the Blues are now back on top of the table for the first time since they were crowned champions in 2015.

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte named an unchanged line-up for the fifth successive league match as his side sought a fifth consecutive win in the league for the first time in nearly three years.

Hazard has been an integral figure in Chelsea's recent emphatic run and the Belgium international had a hand in all of his side's five goals here.
