Chelsea star Eden Hazard was sensational against Crystal Palace, says Danny Murphy

Chelsea playmaker Eden Hazard is playing at the same level now to that which won him the PFA Player of the Year award in 2015, according to Match of the Day pundit Danny Murphy.

The Belgium captain was the best player on the pitch as Chelsea went nine points clear at the top of the Premier League with a 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace.

Hazard was involved in the goal which resulted in Cesar Azpilicueta whipping in the delivery which was headed in by Diego Costa on the stroke of half-time at Selhurst Park, and Murphy feels the forward is back to his brilliant best.
