A look at the stats above and there can be no arguments that Chelsea didn't get what they deserved. They dominated possession, had more shots and more corners. They also scored more goals.

Eden Hazard had a few touches didn't he (see his touch graphic above)? The Belgian had 94 touches and almost every one of them was brilliant.

"Stoke started the second half really well, boosted by Charlie Adam's wonder strike, but Chelsea's second goal knocked the stuffing out of them."

A big win for Chelsea as they return to seven points clear at the top of the Premier League. Charlie Adam tried his best to spoil the Stamford Bridge mood with a wonder-strike but the Blues were simply too good.

Asmir Begovic has the ball and he launches it forward...

Peter Crouch gets Stoke's sixth booking for clattering Eden Hazard.

A throw for Stoke in Chelsea's half is launched into the penealty area but Marko Arnautovic fires over.

Free-kick to Chelsea on the edge of their penalty area. They take their time unsurprisingly...

Four minutes of injury time signalled. Chelsea not home yet...

A wicked cross by Marko Arnautovic from the left but Peter Crouch can't reach it for Stoke.

Keep ball from Chelsea. They don't look in danger but you still never know. The ball is deep inside Stoke's half though.

"Eden Hazard has been a joy to watch today. Just like Georgie Best or Stanley Matthews before him, he goes past players so easily that it just looks effortless. That is the most impressive thing."

A throw to Stoke deep inside Chelsea's half. Marc Wilson wastes possession though as he drills the ball straight at Thibaut Courtois from 30 yards.

Into the last five minutes. Can Stoke spoil the party?

Charlie Adam scored for Stoke from about 65 yards out (see 44 mins). Well inside his own half. What are your favourite goals from distance?

Martin: Brian Deane nicking the ball off Bruce Grobbelaar before chipping over the defender on the line from 40 yards plus at Bramall Lane in March 1992.

Gavin, Luton: Has to be Xabi Alonso v Luton. Not the best in terms of beating the keeper, but for Steven Gerrard's reaction because he didn't pass to him!

Simon, Northampton: Jason Cundy for Spurs against Ipswich. Freak gust of wind but class goal.

"The play by Eden Hazard is unbelievable. Asmir Begovic made a great first save and a second one too, but it's all come from Hazard. He's been an absolute joy to watch. Truly world class."

Brilliant again by Eden Hazard. He waltzes past a few Stoke players cuts the ball back and Juan Cuadrado's close-range strike is kept out by Asmir Begovic. With the Colombian pouncing on the rebound, the Bosnian again blocks. If only you hadn't gifted Chelsea their second - you could have been a hero Asmir...

"This game's gone into a bit of a lull, there's not much happening at either end and Chelsea have been controlling the ball in the middle of the pitch. Charlie Adam's coming off but he will sleep well tonight."

The corner is cleared as Stoke breathe again. Can Crouchy do any damage up top?

Corner to Chelsea. Time to wrap up the points?

Not before Peter Crouch replaces Stephen Ireland for Stoke and Charlie Adam trudges off for Erik Pieters.
