Chelsea boss: Eden Hazard played his best game of the season against Tottenham

JOSE MOURINHO insisted Eden Hazard had his best game of the season against Tottenham on Sunday.

 

The Blues played out a 0-0 draw with their London rivals at White Hart Lane as Spurs stretched their unbeaten run to 13 games.

Hazard has now gone 17 games without a Premier League goal, but showed glimpses of the player that saw him win PFA Player of the Year last season.

And the Portguese boss was quick to acknowledge Hazard's efforts in putting in an impressive performance for his side.

 

"It was Eden’s best game of the season," Mourinho told the club's website.

"He had a great volley with his weaker foot for the save of the match. His game was more complete, with the ball and without the ball, attacking people and attacking space. 

"When we had to play some long balls, he was jumping and trying in the air against their two Belgian boys who are two metres tall. 

 

Jose Mourinho said described the Belgian's performance as his best of the season

 

Eden Hazard hasn't scored a goal for the Blues this season

"He did fantastically well for the team so even though not scoring, his appetite to be important in the game and enjoy the game was back today."

The Blues next match sees them host Bournemouth on Saturday (5.30pm) with the Cherries just five points behind Mourinho's men.
