Hazard: I was like a ghost last season

Eden Hazard has admitted he was "like a ghost" during Chelsea's dismal campaign in 2015-16.

The Belgium international won the Professional Footballers' Association Player of the Year and was named the Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year after inspiring Jose Mourinho's side to the title two seasons ago.

Hazard's performance level then dipped markedly last term and he failed to score in the Premier League before April, with Mourinho having left Stamford Bridge 16 games into the season.

However, the 26-year-old has recaptured some of his best form in Antonio Conte's table-topping side and he is determined to re-establish his place as the leading light in the division.
