356 days after his last goal, Eden Hazard finally found the back of the net.
The PFA Player of the Year winner from last season struggled with poor form and with a number of injuries, extending his goal-less streak with the Blues in EPL games. His streak lasted for 28 games, and maybe Chelsea's performance while defending their title would have been improved if the Belgian ace was fully fit from the start of the season.
Fans had some hilarious reactions after Hazard's first goal, while others chose not to mock the striker and decided to applaud his skills. Here are some of their comments.
