This Boxing Day match for Chelsea will be full of sweet memories in years to come.
After a disappointing title defense last season, Antonio Conte has turned things around for the Blues, getting key players to believe in themselves once more while achieving milestonees everywhere.
The first item to be remembered by fans will be Eden Hazard's inclusion in Chelsea's 50-goal list playing EPL games. The Belgian ace transformed a penalty as the second half got underway, helping the playmaker join an elite list of footballers that have graced Stamford Bridge with their talents.
50 – Eden Hazard is the 6th player to score 50 PL goals for Chelsea after Lampard, Drogba, Hasselbaink, Zola & Gudjohnsen. Elite.

But that wasn't all Chelsea had coming to them today. With their 12th consecutive win, coach Antonio Conte has broken a record set in 2009 for most consecutive EPL wins. Things couldn't be looking better for the Blues, as they have a nine point lead over Liverpool, who have a game in hand tomorrow.
Chelsea have now won 12 league games in a row since switching to a 3-4-3.
