'Like you saw, I saw he is a good player, I saw that he scores a lot with his head... now he needs to score with his feet,' joked Hazard after the final whistle.


'He is a top player. He can score every time. When he scores, we win the game so I think he is good.

'He is in good form, even in the national team he scored three times so I hope that for Chelsea, he can score a lot of goals.
