#4 – Hazard impresses in free role
Eden Hazard played a free role today, dropping deep into the midfield. The Belgian was replicating what Messi has been doing for Barcelona this season, but not that effectively.
He was on the ball more often than not for the Blues. Hazard kept trying to get the ball into space for Morata but the Spaniard was either running in the wrong direction or the Saints defenders were intercepting well.
His goal that got Chelsea level was the icing on the cake today. Despite being surrounded by a lot of red and white shirts, he kept his composure and launched it into the top of the net with his weak foot.
