Eden Hazard: "Now I am happy"

Eden Hazard has admitted that he is happy to have finally broken his goalscoring duck with a brace in Chelsea's 4-1 victory at Bournemouth today.

The Belgian was in fine form for the Blues last season, scoring 14 times as they romped to the Premier League title, but had fired blanks in 26 league appearances this season prior to today.

"[It was a] good performance tonight. The boys did very well, we scored four good goals and we deserved to win today," Hazard told Sky Sports News.

"It's good to be back on the pitch and to score again. I didn't score at all this season. It was so long, now I am happy and I hope for the future I will be back.

"After two defeats you have to score and to win the games again and we did today, we have four games to play and to enjoy."

Hazard's poor season on the pitch had led to speculation that he would leave Stamford Bridge at the end of the season, although reports in recent days have suggested that he has been convinced to stay by incoming boss Antonio Conte.
