After Eden Hazard scored the winning goal against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday, Blues team-mate Ross Barkley was beaming in his assessment of the 27-year-old star.
Liverpool took the lead in the third round contest via a Daniel Sturridge overhead kick on the hour mark before Emerson levelled things up with just over ten minutes to go at Anfield.
The stage was set for someone to step up and be the hero and Hazard duly obliged, slipping past three players on the right-hand side of midfield before rifling home an unstoppable shot past the helpless Simon Mignolet in the Red's net.
