Brighton 1-2 Chelsea: Eden Hazard shines on the south coast before injury scare

1/21
Alex Young @alexwsyoung16 December 2018

Eden Hazard scored his first goal in over two months as Chelsea made easy work of Brighton on Sunday.

Chelsea took the lead in the 18th minute through Pedro following good work from Hazard to find the Spaniard who tapped in from close range.

The visitors doubled their advantage at the Amex Stadium through a wonderful solo effort by Hazard.

Willian played the Belgium international in before he weaved his way past the Brighton defence and slotted home in the 33rd minute for his eighth Premier League goal of the season.

Brighton pulled one back in the 66th minute with Solly March's first goal of the season.

Bernardo kept an inswinging corner in play and it found its way to the Brighton winger to fire home and give the hosts hope.

Hazard's fine day was cut short after limping off but Chelsea held out for the win.
