Burnley manager Sean Dyche would have been furious that nobody in his team got close enough to Hazard to challenge the Belgian as he ran half the length of the pitch to open the scoring in the ninth minute, but it was still a wonderful goal.
‘Everyone can be looking to Eden sometimes, including the last month, and in my opinion he is the player who can decide the league.
Now, with Conte in charge and stability restored at Stamford Bridge, the 25-year-old, who captained his country in France, has started the new season in sparkling form.
Eden Hazard inspired Chelsea to a thumping 3-0 win over Burnley to maintain their flawless start to the season.
Chelsea have made a brilliant start to their Premier League campaign, winning both their games against West Ham and Watford, through late goals by Diego Costa, who has been marred with controversy since the opening game of the season. At Stamford Bridge it is going to be tough because the players will be up against not only some great players, but also a Chelsea home ground that are very loud and energetic. Every day I feel better.
“I was excited to get on the scoresheet, it was important for me as well as for the team”, Moses said. “We have four days to find this, but I am pleased to work with the squad I have”. “The attitude is good and I like this”.
Chelsea continued their flawless start to the season with a comfortable victory over Burnley at Stamford Bridge.

Conte was not at all happy with the side as he was forced to bring in Hazard, Oscar and Terry to get over the line. ‘He knows players because he used to be one. When you have these players with great talent, it s good for me to put them in the best condition to excite with this talent. “They are very solid in defensive situations and they are always waiting to go on the counter-attack with two very good forwards”. A few months ago Chelsea fans were booing Hazard as they blamed him, among other players, for not trying hard enough to reverse a string of defeats that led to the dismissal of Jose Mourinho, the club’s most successful coach.
