The Belgium international teed up Jorginho to make the score 2-1 to Chelsea in the 31st minute, seeing him reach a half-century of assists in the top flight.

That means Hazard – who has also scored 81 times – has had a hand in 131 goals in the Premier League since joining from Lille in 2012.

He has already reached double figures for goals in a single season for the fifth time at Chelsea, needing just four more to equal his personal best of 16 in the league in the 2016-17 campaign.

The only other players to both score and assist 50 goals in the Premier League for Chelsea are Hazard’s former team-mates Lampard and Drogba.
