Why Willian Was Chelsea's Most Surprising Player in 2015/16 Season

It used to be all about Eden Hazard at Chelsea, but that changed this year. Suddenly Willian stole the headlines.

The fact the Brazilian would eventually be voted as the Blues' Player of the Season is just as surprising as the former champions' fall from grace. He used to be another face among the crowd, yet come May, Willian deserved all the personal accolades he would earn.

Few would have predicted that turn of events.

In a team of underperformers, the former Shakhtar Donetsk man was exceptional. He was Chelsea's outstanding player, adding a few strings to his bow in the process.
