Eden Hazard’s resurgence to form this season has been rewarded with the PFA Fans’ Premier League Player of the Month award for October, Sky Sports report.
The Belgian beat the likes of Joe Allen and Theo Walcott to the award, after receiving over 27,000 votes in a poll that accumulated over 61,000 votes.
Hazard has been part of a Chelsea side that found the winning formula in October, as Antonio Conte’s switch to 3-4-3 saw the Blues win all four of their league matches last month without conceding a single goal, the only side from Europe’s top five leagues to do so.
Hazard has taken to his new role in Conte’s system, scoring three goals and laying on one assist in October.
The attacker was chosen alongside five other candidates by an expert panel, including Sky Sports pundits Paul Merson, Ian Holloway and Peter Beagle, and came out on top by over 12,500 votes.
Arsenal’s Walcott received the second highest number of votes with 14,737, while Stoke’s Joe Allen finished in third with 14,491.
