Kurt Zouma: This Chelsea star was my man of the match against Tottenham

Eden Hazard impressed in Chelsea's 0-0 draw with Tottenham on Sunday

KURT ZOUMA has hailed Eden Hazard's performance against Tottenham on Sunday.

.

The Belgian has endured a difficult campaign with the Blues this season and is still yet to score for the club this season.

But Hazard displayed glimpses of the performances that saw him crowned PFA Player of the Year last term.

And Zouma believes his team-mate put in a man of the match display against their London rivals.

"Eden played amazingly well," the defender told the club's website. 

 

"He had some chances to score even though he is smaller than the defenders.

"He had a header and then a good shot in the second half. He could have scored but he was unlucky. For me he was the man of the match."

Jose Mourinho also backed up Zouma's claims with his comments after the draw at White Hart Lane.

"It was Eden’s best game of the season," Mourinho said.

 

Jose Mourinho and Kurt Zouma both praised the Belgian's performance

"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. 

"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."
