Roman Abramovich certainly looked like he approved of what he was seeing after Eden Hazard’s brilliant solo goal in Chelsea’s 3-1 win over Arsenal on Saturday.

The Blues took the lead in the 13th minute at Stamford Bridge when Marcos Alonso headed home from close range.

Hazard then made it 2-0 early in the second half when he embarked on a brilliant solo run and coolly finished past Petr Cech in the Arsenal goal.

Cesc Fabregas added a third late on, before Olivier Giroud nodded home a late consolation.

The 26-year-old Hazard has been in much improved form for Chelsea this season following his struggles last term, when the Blues ended up 10th and without a trophy.

And Chelsea owner Abramovich certainly looked to be pleased with what he was seeing after Hazard’s fine goal on Saturday, if the photo above is anything to go by.
