It took two perfect touches to execute, but Chelsea very much earned the first goal in Monday's Premier League tilt against West Ham, N'Golo Kante intercepting a pass and springing Eden Hazard and Pedro on a counter-attack.

Hazard picked out Pedro as the two burst toward West Ham's box, with the Spanish winger quickly switching the ball back to the Belgian in one fluid movement. Hazard's first touch proved deserving of reward and he rounded goalkeeper Darren Randolph and slotted home in the 25th minute.

They don't come much prettier than that.
