​Hazard named PFA Fans' Player of the Month for October

Chelsea playmaker Eden Hazard has won the PFA Fans' Player of the Month award for October.

The Belgian star scored three goals last month, including a superb solo effort in Chelsea's 2-0 win at Southampton on Sunday, and created another for teammate Diego Costa, which also came at St Mary's Stadium.

Hazard's goals have contributed to Chelsea moving into the top four, just one point behind league leaders Manchester City.

And that resulted in 27,262 fans voting for the Belgian to take the Player of the Month prize for October ahead of Arsenal forward Theo Walcott, who received 14,737 votes, and Stoke midfielder Joe Allen (14,491).

Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli came in fourth place with 2,012 votes while Charlie Austin (1,996) and Callum Wilson (1,073) completed the top six.
