Eden Hazard is probably the best forward in the Premier League right now and his stunner against Liverpool last night in the Carabao Cup just validated the point.
Liverpool were enjoying a winning streak from the start of the season and it all came to an end at the behest of Hazard.
The latest addition to the FIFPro World XI, the Belgian dribbled past three Liverpool players to shoot the ball in the far post of his fellow Belgian national team-mate Simon Mignolet in the 86th minute.
Here’s the goal:

Just give Hazard what ever he wants #cfc

Hazard asked by Sky what went through his mind for the goal: “I spoke with N’Golo on the bench & he told me he didn’t want to take a penalty, so the only solution was to score!” #cfc

Jamie Carragher (Ex Liverpool player & life long Liverpool fan)
"Eden Hazard was the BEST player at the World Cup and the BEST player in the Premier league"
Don't ever compare Salah to the goat again..

If Salah could win Puskas for that shit goal against Everton, this Hazard goal deserves a Puskas too. Because it's even better

What a win last night. Half the team didn’t play at all this season yet showed great spirit and determination. Played in a new position and 150 start for @chelseafc
What a goal from this brilliant player @hazardeden10 more of it Saturday guys please. 🙏🏻💪🏻 pic.twitter.com/D4AADDFpYe— Cesc Fàbregas Soler (@cesc4official) September 27, 2018
After nutmegging Roberto Firmino in the build-up, Hazard swapped passes with Cesar Azpilicueta, cut inside off the right, dashed past a static defence and lashed an unstoppable drive across Simon Mignolet.
King @hazardeden10 🔥🔥 pic.twitter.com/6vhBQ2CTO5
