AFP / xinmsn - Chelsea’s most expensive transfer of the season has already made his mark.

Belgium forward Eden Hazard, 21, helped his new side kick off their Premier League campaign with a 2-0 win against Wigan.

Hazard set up both Chelsea's goals for Branislav Ivanovic and Frank Lampard within the opening seven minutes at the DW Stadium.

Hazard, who arrived from Lille in June with a hefty 32 million pound price tag and a reputation as one of Europe's most astute young playmakers, took less than two minutes to underline his vast potential as he laid on Chelsea's opening goal with a clever turn and defence-splitting pass to Ivanovic, who rumbled into the penalty area before slotting a low shot past Ali Al Habsi.

Just four minutes later, Hazard tricked his way into space in the penalty area and provoked a despairing challenge from Wigan debutant Ivan Ramis, who conceded a penalty which Lampard drilled under Al Habsi to seal Chelsea's first win of the season.
