Hazard wins Premier League Playmaker Award for most assists

Chelsea forward Eden Hazard has won the Premier League's Playmaker Award after the Belgium star finished one assist ahead of Ryan Fraser.

Hazard – who came off the substitutes' bench in his side's 0-0 draw with Leicester City on Sunday – has been given the award for his 15 Premier League assists this season.

That total put him one ahead of Bournemouth's Ryan Fraser, who did not assist on any of Bournemouth's three goals in the Cherries' 5-3 loss to Crystal Palace.

Tottenham's Christian Eriksen and Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold finished in a tie for third with 12 assists each - the latter's effort a record for a defender in the Premier League era.
