#2 Eden Hazard is the Premier League's best player

Hazard is just so good.

It has been hotly debated everywhere for a while now, is Eden Hazard the best player in the Premier League? He absolutely is, and he proved it against Liverpool, twice. The Belgian scored two absolutely beautiful, albeit different, goals in the two games Chelsea played against the Reds this week.

While one would point to the average season he had during the last campaign, Hazard came back strongly with a good showing at the World Cup in Russia. He has also been a real menace for years now.

Having signed from Lille in 2012, Hazard lit up the Premier League from day one. He enjoyed an impressive debut season and went on to take the talismanic responsibilities at Stamford Bridge. He won the PFA Player of the Year award in 2014-15, as the Blues won the title.

He proved his class again, in 2016-17, after a difficult season before. The Belgian forward possesses the required skill, talent and overall character to be named among the elite footballers in the world. His dribbling is out of this world, as Premier League defences have found out over the last few years.

This season, Hazard has shown a massive improvement in his end product. He already has six goals in the league this season, the most current, showing that he is now banging in the goals as well. Do not be surprised if Hazard grabs a few more worldies this season, he is the best player in the league. He is one of the best players in the world. He probably is the best not named Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo.
