LONDON -- Eden Hazards dazzling double sent Chelsea surging to the top of the English Premier League with an electrifying 5-0 victory over Everton on Saturday.Not only was it Chelseas fifth consecutive league win since a 3-0 humbling by Arsenal, but Antonio Contes side has scored 16 times without reply while ruthlessly rolling over opponents.With finesse and exuberance, Chelsea ripped through a brittle Everton side that had the leagues second-best defensive record before its Stamford Bridge collapse.Diego Costa and Pedro Rodriguez also scored, and if they continue to combine so effectively up front with Hazard -- and the defensive reliance is maintained -- Conte could be ending his first season in English football with silverware.Chelsea showed us a very high level of football in every aspect -- how aggressive you need to play, the quality on the ball, winning second balls, Everton manager Ronald Koeman said. We can learn from that.Theres a long way to go, but the transformation of Chelsea from the miserable end of Jose Mourinhos reign a year ago has been immense.Chelsea had only three wins and 11 points after 11 games in last seasons feeble title defense. At the same stage this year, Chelsea is on 25 points with eight victories, although Arsenal can go top on Sunday by beating Tottenham.We dont want to send a message to the other teams, said Chelsea manager Antonio Conte, a title winner at Juventus. For now its important to send a message to ourselves ... we are working a lot to improve and this is the right way.The symbol of Chelseas revival is surely Hazard, whose morale was at a low ebb last year, but was looking even more dangerous than in Chelseas title-winning season of 2014-15 when the winger was voted English football player of the year.Hazard has already eclipsed last seasons five-goal haul in the league by taking his tally to seven against Everton, which entered the game in sixth place.The only surprise was that Chelsea took until the 19th minute to go in front, having scored in the opening seven minutes of the last three games.On the left flank, Costa passed to Hazard and he cut past Ashley Williams and Seamus Coleman before striking.Within 25 seconds of the restart, the visitors conceded again, as Hazard and Pedro combined to set up Marcos Alonso, who struck through goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburgs legs for his first Chelsea goal.Only the post denied Victor Moses but Costa did grab Chelseas third before halftime after Nemanja Matic was left unmarked to head a corner into the path of the striker.By that stage, Koeman had already reverted to a four-man defense having abandoned the three-man backline that has worked so successfully for Conte during the winning run.The pick of the goals came 10 minutes after the break, with a move started and completed by Hazard after a one-two with Moses. Hazard weaved into the penalty area, past Ramiro Funes Mori and Williams, before striking past Stekelenburg.Costa was the creator of the fifth, winning the ball around the halfway line and darting down the field unchallenged before passing to Hazard. Although Hazard was denied a hat trick by Stekelenburgs save, Pedro was on hand to tap into the empty net.Everton never even got close to scoring, failing to register a single shot on the easiest of days for Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.

PITTSBURGH -- Matt Murrays breakout performance in last years Stanley Cup playoffs earned the Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender a hefty raise.Murray, 22, and the team agreed to a three-year extension that will pay Murray $3.75 million per season, beginning next season.Murray helped the Penguins to the franchises fourth championship last spring after taking over for injured Marc-Andre Fleury?and then holding on to the job once Fleury returned from a concussion. Murray went 15-6 with a 2.08 goals against average and a .923 save percentage in the postseason.He would have been a restricted free agent at the end of this season. The new deal will keep him in the fold through 2020.Anybody in their right mind would want to be here, Murray said Thursday. Its awesome and Im really thrilled.The team approached Murray about a month ago and wasted little time ironing out the details. General manager Jim Rutherford called it a good deal for both sides. Murray will receive a significant bump from the $600,000 hell make this year but also doesnt leave the club cash-strapped should things not pan out.Its why you do the bridge contracts, Rutherford said. Sometimes youre right and sometimes youre not. We have a young goalie thats had a very good career, hes won a Stanley Cup, played extremely well and we feel has a bright future ahead and a long future ahead.Murray has yet to play this season while recoovering from a broken hand suffered while playing for Team North America in the World Cup of Hockey.dddddddddddd While theres no timetable for his return, he practiced for a second consecutive day on Thursday. He called the fact he woke up without any lingering pain from Wednesday a good sign.Im just trying to push myself in practice and see how it feels, Murray said.The extension will likely push the Penguins to make a decision at some point on who exactly is their franchise goaltender, especially with and NHL expansion draft for the Las Vegas franchise coming. Teams can only protect one goalie.Fleury, 31, is the winningest goalie in franchise history and is in the second year of a four-year extension he signed in 2014 that has an average annual value of $5.75 million. Rutherford, however, is in no hurry to reach a crossroads.Lets let this play itself out first, Rutherford said. Lets not just presume that Marc is automatically out. Hes been the franchise goalie here. Hes a terrific person. Hes a terrific player. That assumption [that hell be moved], were getting ahead ourself.Fleury will start Thursday night when Pittsburgh hosts San Jose in a rematch of the 2016 Stanley Cup finals. Fleury is 2-1-1 with a 2.94 goals against average so far this season. ' ' '
