Chelsea striker Fernando Torres has said it is a privilege to play alongside Eden Hazard .

Torres scored his second goal of the season against Newcastle on Saturday and thanked the Belgium star for brilliantly setting him the ball.

Everyone at Stamford Bridge is talking about Hazard's impact, The Sun reports.

Torres, basking in the glory of back-to-back league goals for the first time since September last year, said: "A player like him can make a difference. It is a privilege to have a player like him behind you.

"We are having the ball more than usual and that is important, we are not as worried as last season about defending because we have the ball for most of the time. It is difficult to start winning games when you change your style but we are doing it and we must be proud of that."

Chelsea is three points clear of the pack at the top of the Premier League table.

That is partly because they have played a game more than everyone else but it has been a good start nonetheless. (ANI)
