Will Ferrell doesn’t need John C. Reilly when he’s got Eden Hazard as his Step Brother. The comedian was at Stamford Bridge this afternoon to watch Chelsea’s one-sided 3-1 victory over Arsenal.

The club confirmed on social media earlier that Ferrell dropped in to the dressing room after the full-time whistle to congratulate them on their win.

Marcos Alonso, Eden Hazard and Cesc Fabregas were all on target as Chelsea defeated Arsenal 3-1 at Stamford Bridge to move 12 points clear at the top of the Premier League table. Alonso opened the scoring in the 13th minute and Hazard added an excellent second eight minutes into the second half before Fabregas made it three against his old club, with Olivier Giroud pulling one back for Arsenal, as the Blues took a major step towards the title. It was Arsenal who created the first chance of the game inside the second minute, with Alex Iwobi picking up the ball on the edge of the box and seeing his strike deflect just wide of the goal. Chelsea fashioned their first opportunity after 11 minutes when Pedro found Gary Cahill inside the area with a free kick, only for the centre-back to head his cross over the bar. The hosts, however, managed to break the deadlock two minutes later, with Alonso beating Hector Bellerin to a loose ball to head home the rebound aft...
