We're quite comprehensively running out of superlatives to do justice to Eden Hazard's abilities with a ball at his feet with every passing week and the performance against Cardiff proved to be a testament to the very same. The Belgian registered only his second hat-trick in a Chelsea shirt with an all-round display that single-handedly coasted the Blues to comfort zone.
Hazard's first goal was probably the pick of the lot when he drifted past Joe Bennett with a cheeky touch before unleashing an unstoppable and precisely accurate shot into the far corner from outside the area. It was not meant to stop there as he scored following a goal-mouth scramble inside the penalty area just seven minutes later before making no mistake from the spot in the 80th minute to grab the match ball.
The 27-year-old has been the subject of interest from Real Madrid for quite some time now and it only feels like a matter of time until the fax machine calls out for his name but until then he is Chelsea property and it is assured that he will continue to stake his claim as the best player in the league with performances like the one against Cardiff.
