Chelsea cruised to a comfortable 4-0 win over struggling West Brom at the Hawthorns to add to the pressure on beleaguered boss Tony Pulis.
Eden Hazard was the star of the show, his good work setting up Alvara Morata for the opener after 17 minutes, before scoring twice himself either side of half-time in a convincing win for Antonio Conte's team.
Prior to Hazard's second, Marcos Alonso had already added his side's third before the break to end West Brom's hopes in front of an increasingly agitated Hawthorns crowd.

Man of the match: Eden Hazard
The result took defending champions Chelsea up to second in the Premier League table prior to Manchester United's game against Newcastle, but extends Albion's winless streak to 10.
Pulis' team showed some signs of containing Chelsea early on and had a goal disallowed when Salomon Rondon's header squeezed beyond Thibaut Courtois only for him to be adjudged offside.
But any confidence ebbed away once Hazard wriggled free of Gareth Barry and fired off a left-footed shot that Ben Foster could only parry into the path of Morata.
It was the Spaniard's eighth goal of the season and his fourth assist came soon after as he flicked on Cesc Fabregas' through-ball into the path of Hazard, who rounded Foster and slotted home.
