Eden Hazard and Diego Costa score as Chelsea win four Premier League games in a row

Eden Hazard scored an early opening goal before Diego Costa’s stunning strike ensured Chelsea took home all three points

EDEN HAZARD and Diego Costa scored in a dominant Chelsea victory against Southampton at St Mary’s.

The Belgium international got the Blues off to a perfect start after he ghosted behind Saints’ defence before cutting in and firing the ball through Fraser Forster’s legs.

Miscommunication between midfielders Steven Davis and Oriol Romeu led to Hazard’s sixth minute opener after the pair allowed him to run into the box unmarked.

Saints were flat in the second half and they failed to close down Diego Costa who struck a cracking strike from the edge of the box to double the Blues’ lead on 55 minutes.

Southampton fans thought they had a consolation goal to celebrate with five minutes remaining but Charlie Austin’s goal was disallowed for offside.

Chelsea’s convincing victory is now their fourth consecutive Premier League win after exiting the EFL Cup to West Ham in midweek.
