Chelsea went top of the Premier League after beating Burnley 3-0 at Stamford Bridge on Saturday. Eden Hazard and Willian were on the scoresheet in the first half to cap a fantastic display of attacking football from the Blues.

Two seasons ago, Hazard was arguably the best player in the Premier League as his 14 goals and nine assists helped Chelsea to win the title.

However, he was a shadow of his former self last season, failing to score in the Premier League until the end of April.

Under Antonio Conte, he appears to have rediscovered his best form. His goal against Burnley - the Belgium international's second in four games - was reminiscent of those he scored in 2014-15, charging at the defence before despatching a perfectly placed strike beyond Tom Heaton's dive.

The Clarets had no answer for Hazard, whose clever runs and tricky feet caused the visitors' defence, and in particular full-back Matt Lawton, problems throughout.

If Chelsea are to win the title this season, they will need the winger at his best. On his showing so far this season, that appears to be the case.

Conte has favoured either a 4-1-4-1 or a 4-2-4 formation since taking over at Chelsea and both require a lot of work from his wingers.

In order to be effective, they need to stay wide and both Hazard and Willian were hugely successful at doing this. Such a tactic forced Burnley to stretch their defence, so when either winger cut inside there was space for them to work with. The outcome was a goal apiece for Hazard and Willian.

When the two went off, their replacements - Pedro and Moses - picked up from where they left off, combining for Chelsea's third.
