Second-placed Tottenham are Chelsea's next opponents, and Hiddink has underlined his players' commitment to that game, saying: "We play the next game to win. And the next game is Tottenham.
"At the end the strongest team will win the league. And the strongest team is the one that deserves the league as well."
Hiddink also claims that, while Chelsea may have nothing to play for in relation to their league finish, they are desperate to ensure their season does not "fade away".
"Of course we desperately wanted to win this game," he added.
"We've got nothing at stake really and we talked about that in the week.
"The players responded very well. We are very pleased with the performance, especially the second half. I think it was a very open game.
"We made some little changes in the positions at half-time, and from then on I think we controlled and were dominant. The team enjoyed playing."
On Hazard, who netted his first two league goals of a largely forgettable season, he added: "It was not foreseen to play Hazard for 90 minutes but he enjoyed it so much he wanted to stay on.
