Chelsea were rampant throughout October. The Blues won all four of their Premier League matches scoring 11 goals keeping clean sheets in each of their fixtures.
And, given the dominant nature of the club, it was no surprise to see them sweep the monthly English Premier League awards. Eden Hazard was awarded the best player for the month of October for his impressive performances with a return of 3 goals and 1 assist in the 4 appearances. The Premier League handle congratulated the player with Hazard himself tweeting of his delight at receiving the award.

Antonio Conte deserves October MOTM award.
New manager in England and within 3 months wins it. Great. More to come.— Aneesh Chandoke (@AneeshChandoke) November 18, 2016
Just 3 months into Conte’s debut season and Chelsea already look like a well-oiled machine. The Blues go marching on. And they don’t look like stopping anytime soon.
