Opinion: 3 things Eden Hazard does better than any other player in the Premier League

3. Does not dive

Chelsea v Sunderland - Premier League

Another great quality of Hazard is the fact that he does not dive. His Chelsea teammate Willian is guilty of diving on many occasions but Hazard likes to play the game fair. He receives some brutal tackles but almost always gets up without creating a fuss.

Many other players like Dele Alli, Diego Costa, Neymar, Sterling or Luis Suarez are infamous for their theatrics. Even players like Sergio Ramos and Samuel Umtiti who are not wingers tend to dive. Hazard is a breath of fresh air in this case.

Not diving is not the same as drawing fouls. Hazard is an expert at drawing fouls and going down on contact but he never goes down without any contact. This, in my opinion, separates him from a lot of other players.

The video below highlights how Hazard draws contact and goes down instead of merely diving without contact.
