Chelsea 1-0 Liverpool: 5 Talking Points

G
Giroud's goal proved to be the difference between the two sides

#1 Eden Hazard waving the magic wand once again

Back at it again

Eden Hazard walked off in the 85th minute to thunderous applause and earned it by being a menacing presence up front for Antonio Conte's men.

Hazard was immense going forward and at times, it looked like getting the ball off of him was an impossible task. At one point, he swivelled past 3 Liverpool players and leathered one towards goal and Karius just about enough to keep it out.

Hazard completed all his dribbles today. He completed 87% of his attempted passes. He created 3 chances, unleashed 2 shots and even won 2 tackles. It was a vintage Eden Hazard performance at Stamford Bridge in an all-important game.

If Hazard can replicate this against Manchester United in the FA Cup final, United's defenders are going to have quite a hard time and that may be all that Chelsea needs to tip the scales in their favour.
