Newcastle 1-2 Chelsea: Hits and flops from the game

Newcastle United v Chelsea FC - Premier League
The Blues won a game at St. James' Park after four defeats and a draw

#1 Best: Eden Hazard

Newcastle United v Chelsea FC - Premier League
Hazard was almost unplayable at times

Wasn't he unstoppable?

The Belgian skipper seems to be getting better by the day. Initially, he was marked by over four black and white shirts, but the 27-year-old still found a way out to dictate play, create chances and keep everything moving smoothly. He also dropped deep to take the ball and carry it forward.

He was everywhere. Starting from his movement, Hazard occupied and exploited every single blade of grass in the final third. Given the license to roam around, the little magician linked up play with the likes of Kovacic, Alonso, Azpilicueta and Pedro.

He also provided a few tricks and flicks to enhance his team's chances of breaking through a resolute defence. Also to add, Hazard won a number of fouls, got his shots away and completed take-ons.

He scored his penalty emphatically too, illustrating his confidence while placing it to near perfection. He could do no wrong, and there is nothing this man cannot do. Take a bow, Eden Hazard.
