Chelsea boss, Antonio Conte has described Eden Hazard as a ''complete player'' after the Belgian stole the show in a five star performance at the bridge on Saturday.
Goals by Marcos Alonso, Diego Costa Pedro and a Hazard's brace were enough to seal a 5-0 victory as the Blues claimed top spot in the Premier League.
After the match, the Italian Manager was full of praise for his talismanic Belgian after his latest top performance.
"He [Hazard] played an impressive game," Conte told BT Sport. "We all know he's a great talent.
"He's a fantastic player who is working a lot for the team and I think the teammates are very happy for this. '
''A complete player with the ball and without the ball.
"He must continue because he has great talent and he's showing it in every game."
The 45-year old was also impressed with his team's five consecutive clean sheets, but he's not particularly happy about the timing of the international break.
"The fifth clean sheet in a row is fantastic because if you look at the past you can think this is incredible to reach this result," Conte added. "But I'm pleased. It's a pity we have to stop for the international break.
"I wanted to continue. I am pleased for all of the players, they are fantastic: the commitment, the work rate during the game, with the ball and without the ball.
I am pleased tonight, but we must continue to work very hard.
And on Chelsea's position on the log, Conte added; For sure, we are pleased for this [to be top of the league].
It's fantastic today because tomorrow Liverpool, Arsenal against Tottenham, they will play. But for today it was very important to win and we did it."
