Brighton & Hove Albion

Eden Hazard scored his first goal in more than two months to help Chelsea retain their place in the Premier League's top four with a 2-1 win at Brighton & Hove Albion.

Hazard set up Pedro for his side's opener before doubling Chelsea's lead himself with his first goal since the Oct. 7 win at Southampton. Solly March pulled one back for Brighton midway through the second half, but it was not enough to salvage a point for the hosts.

The victory keeps Chelsea fourth in the Premier League table, three points above Arsenal following the Gunners' 3-2 loss at Southampton, and Maurizio Sarri's side moved to within two points of London rivals Tottenham Hotspur.
