MATCH EVENTS:
14: Chance! Fabregas passes the ball into the feet of Bakayoko who finds himself in the centre-forward position again. The Chelsea man turns McAuley well but scuffs his deflected shot just wide.
17' GOAL! WEST BROM 0-1 CHELSEA (Morata 17)
Hazard was booed by the crowd who were frustrated by what they perceived as him feigning injury. They are even more angry now. He gets up off the turf and with his next touch wriggles clear of Barry and fires off a left-footed shot that Foster can only parry into the path of Morata who tucks the ball away with his left foot from close range.
23' GOAL! WEST BROM 0-2 CHELSEA (Hazard 23)
Fabregas slides a pass into the feet of Morata and he flicks it through to Hazard who rounds Foster and finishes with his left foot. It has been some response from Hazard. Replays from the incident that led to him being booed show that Barry did catch him but the referee missed it. It seems to have got the Chelsea man in the mood.
31: Morata down injured in the Chelsea penalty box after a clash with Foster. The Albion goalkeeper dwelt on the ball and that encouraged the challenge from the Spaniard but he came off second best. Morata looks to be fine now though.
36: Nice spin from Rondon in the box but his low centre is latched upon by Courtois. Then Phillips whips in a cross but it does not find a West Brom head. A little better from the Baggies.
38: GOAL! MARCOS ALONSO!
Fabregas curls in the free-kick from the left wing and Alonso is unmarked at the far post to calmly volley home with his left foot.
50: Fabregas is booked for diving in the penalty box. It looked a decent penalty shout but Moss is unimpressed. Fabregas looked to be going down in anticipation of the challenge.
62: GOAL! EDEN HAZARD!
Fabregas, under no pressure, lofts a ball over the top and Hazard controls it before cutting inside, delaying his shot, before stroking it into the corner for his second of the game. Superb.
70: Kante threads the ball through to Morata in the right channel but the striker's attempted scoop is a little too cute and the chance is wasted.
85: Chance! Azpilicueta is dispossessed and McClean is through on goal immediately but he screws his low shot wide of the far post.
