Bournemouth 1-3 Chelsea

Eden Hazard's wonderful finish carried Chelsea ever closer to the Premier League title as the Blues saw off Bournemouth 3-1 at the Vitality Stadium.

Leaders Chelsea maintained their seven-point cushion over Tottenham in all the style befitting champions-elect and now need at the most 15 points from seven matches to seal the silverware.

Diego Costa forced an own goal from Adam Smith to hand Chelsea the lead, before Hazard outfoxed Artur Boruc for his 14th Premier League goal of the season.

Josh King's deflected strike handed Bournemouth hope of a recovery, but Marcos Alonso's curling free-kick sealed Chelsea's fifth win in six league matches.

Second-placed Tottenham thumped Watford 4-0 in the early kick-off, but Chelsea met the challenge with a stress-free victory on the south coast.

Belgium star Hazard again proved central to Chelsea's power and panache, netting his third league goal in a week after the brace that sank Manchester City on Wednesday night.

The 26-year-old's superlative form propelled Chelsea home, with Costa's goal drought stretching to four league matches.
