The Blues maintained their seven-point
lead at the top of the table after victory
over QPR and their Belgian star feels
his side are on the brink of a first title
in five years
Eden Hazard says
Chelsea are almost ready
to start celebrating the Premier League title
after a 1-0 victory over QPR saw them
move seven points clear at the top of the
table.
Jose Mourinho's side, without top scorer
Diego Costa, needed an 88th-minute goal
from Cesc Fabregas to seal victory against
Chris Ramsey's relegation-threatened men.
The result sees the Blues maintain their
seven-point leader over second-placed
Arsenal, having played a game less, with
Manchester United and the Gunners up
next in the Premier League.
Hazard says that, while Chelsea do still
have some difficult games still to come,
they are closing in on a first title since
2010.
"We're almost ready to start celebrating the
title. But it is not finished," he told Canal
Plus .
"In the Premier League, we know well that
it is always difficult, with a lot of points
ahead.
"We have two important games coming up
against Arsenal and Manchester United. If
we win one of those two that would be OK.
"We are close to reclaiming the title, but it
is not finished yet - there is more work to
do."
