Eden Hazard's double eased the mounting pressure on Chelsea manager Antonio Conte as the English champions bounced back to winning ways and moved into the Premier League top four with a 3-0 win over rock bottom West Brom on Monday. Three-goal defeats at the hands of Bournemouth and Watford saw odds slashed on Conte becoming the latest Chelsea boss to be dismissed just nine months on from winning the Premier League.
However, the Italian who claimed in the build-up to the game it would be "stupid" to sack him was handed a reprieve by the brilliance of Belgian Hazard, with Victor Moses also on target for the hosts. Chelsea climb into fourth with the gap between Manchester United in second and fifth-placed Tottenham Hotspur now just four points in the race to join runway leaders Manchester City in next season's Champions League.
