Antonio Conte hailed a "fantastic" Chelsea performance in their 5-0 victory over Everton, and called on Eden Hazard to keep improving after the Belgian inspired the Blues to the top of the Premier League table.
Ronald Koeman's Everton were no match for Conte's Blues at Stamford Bridge, with the hosts 3-0 up by half-time thanks to a quick-fire double from Eden Hazard and Marcos Alonso followed by Diego Costa's 12th goal of the season.
Hazard added his second after the break before Pedro notched the fifth to send Chelsea a point clear at the top of the table, and Conte was delighted with another win - and another clean sheet in the league.
Conte told BT Sport after the game: "It was a good performance, I am pleased. I think we played good football, we created chances to score and kept a fifth clean sheet in a row.
"I am pleased for the players, they were fantastic. We must continue to work hard.
"Eden Hazard played an impressive game. We all know he is a talented player, I see he is working a lot for the team and his teammates are very happy for this. He must continue, he is showing his talent in every game.
"It wasn't easy for Marcos Alonso to arrive in England, change leagues, so I am very happy for him.
"It is fantastic to be top of the league, today it was important to play and to win."
