Player Ratings: Oscar and Hazard dynamic duo lead Chelsea once again

Other players in the squad might get rotated, but not Oscar, at least not lately.  While Eden Hazard and Nemanja Matic can put the feather of making an appearance in every single game so far this season in their cap, Oscar is the active leader in consecutive starts with nine.  If the nine consecutive starts achievement unlocks such a staggeringly good finish like the one for his opening goal against QPR, we should never rotate him out of the lineup ever again.

As usual with Oscar, the goal was not his only trick worth mentioning, but there's only so many ways I can phrase "here, there, everywhere."

After getting most of the day off at Strawberry Fields Shrewsbury, Hazard was back to do his thing and get pulses racing.  Grabbing all the headlines (both positive and unfairly negative) with his game-winning penalty was the least he deserved.

Nice to see a couple non-penalty shots from the Belgian wonder as well, while adding several more to his league leading take-on statistics.  In fact, it's not even close -- here are the leaders in total take-ons according to WhoScored:  Hazard (54/82), Moses (30/53), Alexis (30/57), Sterling (29/56).  And while Eden has a fair bit more minutes to his name than either of the next two, he easily leads in the per-minute breakdown as well.

Fun fun fun!

Another game with an absolutely ridiculous number of touches for Fabregas, another game with an official assist.  He assists when he wants!

Just as Hazard leads the league in take-ons, Cesc leads in most passing categories, including passes attempted, completed, "key" passes, and assists.

He really does look good in blue, does he not?
