The win ensured the club moved – temporarily at least – 12 points clear in the Premier League title race, while Arsenal suffered their second defeat in the space of five days.

Hazard, who scored a speculator goal to double his side’s lead, said: ‘It’s been a great day, we all enjoyed it.


‘The fans were amazing. 3-1 is a good result for us and the gap is bigger now which is good.



‘We want to stay there [top] forever and we enjoy it.
