Chelsea v Tottenham Hotspur - Carabao Cup: Semi-Final Second Leg
Hazard has been Chelsea's talisman for quite a few years now

Regularly rated as one of the best players in the world and a potential heir to the throne currently occupied by Ronaldo and Messi, a constant criticism of Eden Hazard has been his unproductivity and inconsistency in front of goal.

Hazard's numbers in the opposition box paled in comparison to other wide players like Bale, Sanchez, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe.

The Belgian seems to have heeded the advice and taken his game a notch higher, starring in a leading role as he skippered his country to third place at the World Cup in Russia for which he won the Silver Ball at the tournament.

He has continued in the same vein for Chelsea, relishing the extra freedom afforded him by Sarri.

The Belgian currently has 10 goals and 10 assists from 22 Premier League matches this season and has already installed himself as one of the forerunners for the 2019 Ballon d'Or owing to his splendid performances.
