Chelsea have now won 16 of their 18 Premier League games since switching to a 3-4-3 formation following September's 3-0 loss to Arsenal in the reverse fixture.

The Blues are nine points clear of second-placed Tottenham but Hazard wants his side to be even more clinical, starting against Burnley next Sunday, live on Sky Sports.

"We could score two or three more goals. We didn't. We keep it for the next game, I think," Hazard added.

"There are 14 games to play before the end of the season and there are 42 points to take.

"Now it's important to celebrate this win, but then it's important to think next game against Burnley, a really tough game, because Burnley when they play at home are dangerous."
