If Manchester City fail to win this evening vs. Bournemouth, Chelsea’s lead at the top of the table will be at least ten points with just 13 games to go. Some would say such a gap is unbridgeable.

Even though a draw was the result at Burnley’s Turf Moor on Sunday, Antonio Conte’s men moved a point further clear at the summit of the Premier League due to Spurs’ loss at Anfield, which must have made the trip back from Lancashire all the more enjoyable, even though Robbie Brady’s free-kick cancelled out an opening effort from Pedro. Man City may well close the gap to eight points, but Chelsea are in a commanding position.

So, who was the pick of the bunch in blue vs. the Clarets? Well, Eden Hazard stood out…

The Belgian was once again at his dynamic best, with his nine successful dribbles more than double his closest competitor across the 90 minutes, Willian, could muster. On top of this standout stat, Hazard was heavily involved in the play with 91 touches of the ball and 70 passes, while his two key passes and two shots illustrated his attacking threat.
