The centre-back had a fabulous display against Brighton in the Premier League. He won headers and kept Brighton attackers Glen Murray and Florin Andone in his pocket. He was comfortable in defending and didn't face much danger.

Furthermore, he came close to scoring a goal when his header just went aside. In total, Rudiger was one of the best Chelsea players in the match.


#1 Eden Hazard

Eden Hazard scored his 9th goal of the campaign against Brighton. He bagged one goal and one assist in the match. He has now 9 goals and 9 assists in the Premier League. This was Hazard's second match as a false 9 and he sublimely played his role.

The Belgian International was unstoppable in the match and he dribbled past defenders like a knife in the butter. There is no doubt Hazard is a world class player and one can easily figure out why he is compared with Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Hazard is an integral part of Chelsea and he will play a significant role for them in the title race.
