Eden Hazard 'One of the Best Three Players in the World,' Says Alvaro Morata

Eden Hazard is among the world's best, according to Chelsea team-mate Alvaro Morata.

Per the Guardian's Dominic Fifield, he said: "It's not difficult playing with this kind of player. He's one of the best three players in the world, and it's easy for me to play with him."

Hazard provided the cross for Morata's goal on Wednesday as he headed home to cancel out Antoine Griezmann's opener in the Blues' 2-1 win over Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Champions League.

Football journalists Liam Twomey and Dan Levene noted some of the other moments he produced:

The Belgian has been eased back into action this term after being hampered by an ankle injury that required surgery in the summer.
