Harry Kane was also named Player of the Month after banging in four goals in three games for Spurs last month.
Chelsea ace Hazard ran from inside his own half before firing past Petr Cech as the Blues ran out 3-1 winners against their London rivals.
And after winning the Premier League accolade, the Belgium wing wizard Hazard admitted it was “fantastic” – before targeting even more silverware over the next couple of months.
He said: “It is always good to win trophies. It is not my most important target to win Goal of the Month, I want to win big trophies at the end of the season.

"But it is something I can say in few years’ time to my kids that I scored a beautiful goal against Arsenal.
"It means a lot for the fans and for us, because it was a derby and we won the game.
"That is the most important thing in football, that you win the game if you score a fantastic goal, and I hope to score more goals like this."

Guardiola won all three of his league games in February as Man City stepped up their top-four push, scoring eight goals and conceding one.
They began the month with a 4-0 victory at West Ham and went on to secure a late 2-1 home win over Swansea before triumphing 2-0 at Bournemouth.
It is the first award for Guardiola since his arrival in the Prem last summer, as he becomes the first Man City manager to be honoured since Manuel Pellegrini in August 2015.
