Hazard was in red-hot form for Chelsea last night as the Blues saw off Puel’s Southampton 4-2.
He opened the scoring after just five minutes at Stamford Bridge as Chelsea got back to winning ways after their defeat at Manchester United last time out in the top flight. Hazard worked with Puel at former club Lille.
“I’m angry with Eden Hazard tonight” Southampton boss Claude Puel jokes about the Chelsea star
And despite watching the midfield maestro tear his side apart, the Saints boss was in good spirits afterwards.
“I’m angry with Hazard tonight,” Puel joked.
“I had the privilege to give him his start when we were at Lille. “At 16, he was the same. He’s having a fantastic career.”
Chelsea’s victory sent them seven points clear of closest challengers Tottenham. Spurs can close the gap on the leaders to four with a win at Crystal Palace tonight.
