Hazard & Kante's two-man battle for Player of the Year pushes Chelsea ever closer to title

While Diego Costa continues to misfire, his two team-mates are locked in a fascinating duel that is proving hugely beneficial to the Blues

ANALYSIS

Eden Hazard's stunning goal in Chelsea's 3-1 win over Bournemouth was a scintillating display of pace, skill and killer instinct but the through-ball was supplied by N'Golo Kante - as the pair's dominant displays leave them as the front runners for the Player of the Year awards.

Chelsea ran out 3-1 winners against Bournemouth on a wholly good day for Antonio Conte's side, as an Adam Smith own goal, Hazard and a Marcos Alonso free-kick won all three points.
