#4 Eden Hazard (85.11%)
Eden Hazard certainly felt (doesn’t he always) that he should have had a few penalties in Belgium’s first group game against Panama. If the Red Devils would have been awarded a spot-kick, then there is no question that Eden Hazard would be the one taking it.
Hazard has consistently been among the best penalty takers in the Premier League over the past five seasons as he helped lead Chelsea to two league titles. Similarly to Dybala and Milivojevic, Hazard has only improved from the spot. Since October 2015, Hazard has made 88.89% of his penalties for club and country.
Like many others ranked near the top of this list, Hazard’s approach at the spot is to aim for the bottom corners. Three of his last five successful penalties were placed in the bottom left corner while the other two were deposited in the bottom right.
The Belgian also effectively uses a pause to help deceive goalkeepers as he did against David De Gea in the FA Cup final. Considering Belgium’s impressive attack, it is almost certain that Hazard will have opportunities at the spot throughout the World Cup. Given his record, goalkeepers might as well start picking the ball out of the net when Hazard steps up to the spot.
