Eden Hazard and Victor Moses were on target as Chelsea returned to winning ways with a 3-0 victory against West Bromwich Albion on Monday night.
Seeking to avoid a third successive Premier League defeat, the Blues survived a nervy start when Salomon Rondon headed Matty Phillips’ cross wide and Jay Rodriguez sent a glorious chance wide with more time to make sure.
Ben Foster saved brilliantly from Davide Zappacosta and Olivier Giroud before Hazard struck on 25 minutes, with a turn, dribble and one-two with the Frenchman.
Thibaut Courtois thwarted Rondon on 57 minutes and Jonny Evans headed the ensuing corner narrowly over.
But the Blues took control when Moses started and finished a move with Cesc Fabregas on 63 minutes.
Hazard crowned a fine display by cutting in from the right to score his 11th PL goal of the campaign.
Chelsea move a point above Tottenham Hotspur into fourth place. West Brom remain bottom on 20 points, seven from safety.
