Eden Hazard wins Premier League Player of the Month award

Chelsea winger Eden Hazard has been named as the Premier League Player of the Month for October.

Hazard has been one of Chelsea's stand-out performers since the arrival of Antonio Conte and he has been rewarded for his scintillating form last month.

The Belgian starred in each of the Blues' four successive wins while he also got on the scoresheet against Leicester City, Manchester United and Southampton.

The 25-year-old also had a hand in numerous goals netted by the Stamford Bridge side and it was enough to match his boss after Conte was announced as the Manager of the Month.

Hazard is expected to be fit for Chelsea's trip to Middlesbrough at the weekend, despite picking up a calf injury while on international duty.
