5 Chelsea players who were exceptional against Manchester City

#5 Eden Hazard

Hazard was a thorn for Manchester City

He may not have gotten on the scoresheet since October, but Eden Hazard stepped up as creator-in-chief, assisting both of Chelsea's goals to commemorate a memorable win.

Chelsea needed a big performance from a player to pull through against Manchester City, and 'Cometh the Moment Cometh the Man'. Eden Hazard arrived for Chelsea when they needed it the most, as the Belgian set up N'Golo Kante with a well-timed ball which pierced Manchester City's defence, and followed it up with a sensational corner to pick out David Luiz to eventually kill the game off.

Hazard also made some key dribbles and always kept City's defenders on their toes. It's a well-known fact that Hazard prefers playing on the wing, and isn't a natural centre forward. But how good was that performance? Playing Eden Hazard on the wing is always a better option, but against the big teams, he can play through the centre and really be Chelsea's trump card.
