I must score more often, says Hazard

-

EDEN HAZARD had just one thing on his mind when he picked up the ball just inside his own half in the 53rd minute.

‘To dribble like I did,’ said the Belgian. ‘I try to do this every game.’

And he generally does it better than most, with yesterday’s dribble an early goal of the month contender.

The Belgian skipped past Laurent Koscielny before heading towards the Arsenal goal with Francis Coquelin snapping at his heels.

His pace left Coquelin in a heap and that just left Koscielny and Shkodran Mustafi to bamboozle before shooting past Petr Cech.

‘It is always good to score beautiful goals, against a massive team,’ said Hazard. ‘It is not like this in every game. I know I need to score more.’
