The Belgium international had gone 356 days without a
goal in the English top-flight before his strike at the Vitality
Stadium as he finally broke his duck for the league season
The last time Hazard found the net in the league came on the day Chelsea secured the title on May 3, 2015, with his goal against Crystal Palace enough to ensure a 1-0 victory at Stamford Bridge.
But it has taken almost a year for the former Lille man to repeat the trick, with his strike coming on the eve of his successor as PFA Player of the Year will be announced.
As speculation remains regarding his future, it could yet prove to be Hazard's final goal in a Chelsea shirt, but the nightmare scenario of going a full season without finding the net is at least no longer possible.
