Eden Hazard, Cesar Azpilicueta bring Chelsea crucial victory over Man City

This is a modal window.

Eden Hazard's brace propelled the Premier League leaders over Man City as they maintain their seven point lead at the top.

Chelsea remain seven points clear at the summit of the Premier League following a gritty, nerve-jangling 2-1 victory over title rivals Manchester City at Stamford Bridge, a game in which both goalkeepers had a big say in the result.

Eden Hazard opened the scoring for the Blues in the 10th minute when Man City goalie Willy Caballero fluffed his lines, and 16 minutes later it was the turn of Blues keeper Thibaut Courtois to gift Sergio Aguero an equaliser.
