Eden Hazard inspired Chelsea to a 4-0 victory at Brighton to give the champions their first Premier League win of 2018. Lightning strikes from Hazard and Willian fired Antonio Conte's side, stuttering in the top four on the back of three straight draws, into a two-goal lead in the opening six minutes. Belgian playmaker Hazard then took his tally for the season to 11 with a fine solo goal before Victor Moses added a late fourth. Seagulls boss Chris Hughton, yet to see his side take a point from any of the top six, reverted to a back five against the Blues — but it was soon apparent they would not be breaking their duck just yet. Only three minutes had elapsed when Moses reached the byline and his cut-back found its way to Hazard, who sidestepped Lewis Dunk before firing home.
