"This is the first time I've won the award, it's a great honour and I want to share it with my players and the club," Conte told Chelsea's official website.

"It's now important we continue and maintain our form. After an international break it's not easy to restart but we must follow our way and work very hard.

"Our next game is against Middlesbrough on Sunday, we know they are really strong and it will be a tough game, but we have prepared very well".


On the other side, Hazard who scored three times in October, including in big wins over Premier League champions Leicester City and former manager Jose
Mourinho's new club Manchester United,  has joined a long list of  Chelsea  players to win the EASPORTSFIFA Player of theMonth award.

"It means a lot," Hazard told the club's official
website.

"We played a very good month. I scored a lot of goals and all the team played well. We scored a lot of goals and we didn't concede a goal. I'm the best player this month but the most important thing is at the end to
win the league and to do that we have a lot of things to do from now until then."
