2) Eden Hazard's impact

Eden Hazard has not been less than a superstar for Chelsea since joining the club in 2012. The Belgian carried his World Cup form at the beginning of the new season but was did not start the game as he was recovering from a back injury, but Hazard was back with a bang for the Blues past weekend coming off the bench.

With the scored tied at 1-1, Maurizio Sarri introduced Hazard as a second-half substitution along with Mateo Kovacic. The Belgian started the proceedings very quickly and took just a couple of minutes to win a freekick which he then sent over from the freekick spot to Morata who controlled before firing home with his left foot and restored Chelsea's lead.

Hazard had an instant impact on the field and started from where he left off.
