Eden Hazard last night claimed Chelsea eased up on Arsenal and could have scored three more.

It was the final insult for Arsenal whose defeat at Stamford Bridge leaves them 12 points behind in the title race and Chelsea odds-on to win the Premier League.

Chelsea star Hazard even claimed that they saved the goals for their next game at Burnley next Sunday because they saw off Arsenal so easily.

Hazard, in an interview with Chelsea TV, said: “We could have scored two or three more goals. We didn’t. We keep it for the next game.”

Belgium forward Hazard also revealed that Chelsea boss Antonio Conte asks him to turn on “magic” and that was the reason behind his remarkable solo goal.

Hazard added: “He asks me to do a lot. When we don’t have the ball, he wants me to defend and, when we have the ball, counter-attack and be free. To do something magic. For me or for the other team-mates, that’s what I try and do.

“We all enjoyed the game. The players, the fans, the manager obviously. We want this kind of game every week, but it’s difficult to keep to the same level every week. So now we rest a little bit and try, in a couple of days, to be ready for the next game.”

Conte has warned his players against complacency in the title race after using his own stories of last gasp slip-ups.

Chelsea boss Conte said: “In my (playing) career I lost one championship and I won another championship. When you arrive at this point sometimes, you think that everything is simple. But it’s not true.

“Above all in this league, because I think in this league easy games don’t exist. And you can see in the previous games, Swansea beat Liverpool and Watford beat Arsenal. A lot of examples. For this reason I think that we must pay great attention to prepare every game with great attention.

“I think every manager has their own experience. I think about this situation, I have great experience. Not only as a manager but above all as a player.

“Because when you play and captain for years for Juventus you have a lot of these situations. I won five titles as a footballer but a lot of times I arrived in second place. And I think when you arrive in second place it’s not good. The people only remember who win.

“I remember the second place more. I bring a lot of examples from the national team. I lost a lot of finals, of the [1994] World Cup and Euro 2000. You must know my hunger in every game. The will to fight, the will to win. I know my career I was lucky to win a lot, but also I lost a lot.”

Conte also insists his Chelsea team is like a “family” and will be strong enough to complete the job and win their fifth Premier League title. Conte is already getting carried away as he celebrated so much with the fans that he ripped his trousers.

Conte added: “I think to win the title you need for sure good players with good talent. But also an important thing is to be a team.

“To be able to put this talent into the team, to create a good organisation, to create a team, where every single player knows his position, knows his situation with the ball, without the ball.

“And also it’s important to create a family spirit between us. I’m pleased for this. Because I think in this six months we are building something important in this club.”
