Brighton & Hove Albion 0-4 Chelsea, Player Ratings: Exceptional Eden

Of course Hazard is top, with an exceptional 9.4 rating, one of his best all season. It’s also his 9th Man of the Match award despite missing the first few weeks while recovering from his broken ankle, though only his first since before Christmas.

Hazard’s clearly enjoying himself at the moment, joking around with teammates and doing all the lovely Hazardian things we know and love ... even as his contract situation remains unresolved. But he maintains that he’s happy. And if he’s happy, we’re happy.

Special shout-outs to Moses and Batshuayi, who each got one of their highest ratings all season.
