Brighton 0-4 Chelsea: Eden Hazard at the double as Antonio Conte's side ease to Premier League victory

Eden Hazard scored twice as Chelsea eased to victory against Brighton on Saturday lunchtime.

The visitors made a storming start, scoring twice in the opening six minutes.

Hazard struck first with the 100th league goal of his career - the Belgian playmaker lashing home from inside the Brighton box after Victor Moses' cross was diverted into his path.

Willian then quickly doubled the visitors' advantage with a thumping effort after some excellent build-up play involving Hazard and Michy Batshuayi.

Ezequiel Schelotto had two strong penalty shouts for Brighton and Davy Propper hit the woodwork as the hosts fought hard to get back in the game.
