Drogba added a second for Chelsea in the 23^rd minute after a poor clearance from Lloris feel to Hazard who fed the ball to Oscar wh put the Ivorian through to make it two nil. The second half was eventless until Drogba’s substitute, Loic Remy showed his strength against Vertonghen before side-footing the ball in the net.

Chelsea’s dominant display means they still enjoy a seven point lead at the top of the table and are looking like odds on favorites to win the Premier League this season
