Hiddink hails Hazard after Anfield display

It has been far from a stellar season for Eden Hazard, but the Belgian earned the praise of Guus Hiddink after his performance at Liverpool.

Chelsea interim boss Guus Hiddink believes Eden Hazard is returning to his best form with Euro 2016 fast approaching after the attacker scored a stunning goal against Liverpool on Wednesday.

Hazard inspired Chelsea to the Premier League title last season, but like many of his teammates has struggled to re-create those displays for much of 2015-16.

The Belgium international has shown glimpses of his old self in recent weeks, however, with the superb solo goal in the 1-1 draw at Anfield his fourth in as many league matches.
