    That's six goals and an assist.

    Gabriel runs a little risk there as his left arm comes out to glance the face of Eden Hazard. Down goes the Chelsea players, seemingly clasping his ear, head and eyes at the same time. Gabriel pleads innocence like Andy Dufresne in Shawshank. The referee sees nothing in it, no need for the defender to dig himself out of trouble.

    Arsenal have had more of the ball and more corners, they just haven't had that injection of quality in the final third. The rugged Diego Costa, tricky Eden Hazard and energy of Pedro simply a cut above so far.

    Nemanja Matic into the book. A classic defensive midfielder foul. He cuts a counter-attack short by chopping down Danny Welbeck. He knew exactly what he was doing.

    Arsenal want to make a change. Steve Bould waves his arms in the technical area to get the attention of officials but he has no joy. Danny Welbeck will come on shortly.

    Here he comes, Theo Walcott jogs off.

    It's almost like it's Arsenal who are playing with three at the back, the way they keep getting found out on the wings. 

    Their full-backs just haven't turned up today - much like the rest of the team.

    While Arsenal have seen plenty of ball, there's not enough zip. Contrast that with this Chelsea move as Pedro lays the ball to Diego Costa and races into the channel for the return. His diminutive frame races to the ball and delivers, forcing Laurent Koscielny to concede a corner. 

    It's just rapid stuff, efficient stuff and simply better than what Arsenal are offering.

    While Chelsea sit deep and soak up anything, limiting options in the process, Arsenal look like they can be got at.

    Arsenal work an overlap beautifully, Alexis Sanchez laying in Nacho Monreal who will cross. BRILLIANT DELIVERY... tap in.... no one there.

    That ball rolled across the goal, around three yards out.

    Ironically, Arsenal are bringing Olivier Giroud on. He'd have tapped that in and had time to read a National Geographic had he been on two minutes earlier.

    Francis Coquelin goes off. He looks punch drunk.

  9. Hazard's moment of magicpublished at 13:53 Greenwich Mean Time 4 February 2017

    Eden Hazard is rejuvenated after what almost counted as his version of a gap year last season - and that goal was a moment of sheer magic from the Belgian.

    Hazard left a trail of Arsenal defenders in his wake and Chelsea manager Antonio Conte was straight into the crowd in celebration.

    Who can stop Chelsea? And is this shaping up as the day Arsenal's title challenge ends?

    Christopher David: Why on earth did Koscielny decide to lose all his defending instincts and turn his back on Hazard at the crucial time?!

    To be fair Christoper, I think if Hazard was running at me I'd just try to clothesline him. I'd stand little chance otherwise.

    Chelsea have just battered Arsenal in this game up until now.

    David Luiz and Marcos Alonso compete for a ball with Gabriel. Perhaps that sums Chelsea up right now, they just want it that bit more. Luiz clears through everyone, leaving Alonso in need of some treatment.

    Eden Hazard puts a foot wrong, stop the press.

    He races up the middle of the pitch and his side have a three versus two situation, big chance. Pedro is to his right and he opts to play the Spaniard in but only manages to pass the ball against the legs of the defender. A little more care and that had 3-0 all over it.

    David Luiz has been calm and collected this season, he's been a very good defender.

    He seems to have cut out the crazy moments.

    There's still time, Danny.

    Mesut Ozil on the ball, inside-right channel. He cuts across the pitch and tries to curl the ball in behind Chelsea's defence for Nacho Monreal, intercepted though. It's not happened for Ozil today.

    Theo Walcott dashes near post to try to meet a fizzed cross but he's closely watched by his marker and it's a corner. Arsenal need a goal soon you feel as if 10-15 minutes pass without anything, the life may well be squeezed out of them.

    Anyone got Eden Hazard in their fantasy team? He deserves triple points for that strike. From halfway to the finish he showed strength, balance, grace. A superb goal.

    What have you got Arsenal?

    Sam Hartles: Wonderful from Hazard! He just ruined at least 3 Arsenal players careers with that run. Incredible 

    Sam Kier: Good lord that was OUTRAGEOUS from Hazard. He had no right to score that!!

    Rachel T: That goal was absolutely hilarious. HOW BAD are Arsenal??
