Chelsea Eden Hazard wins PFA Player of the year
Chelsea midfielder Eden
Hazard was the toast of the English game as he carried off the PFA Player of the
Year award.
The 24-year-old Belgian
has scored 18 goals across all competitions for his club this season, helping
the Blues win the Capital One Cup and putting them on the brink of a first
Premier League title since 2010. He was rewarded for his
sterling performances with the top individual award of the night at the
Grosvenor Hotel in London.
Victory in their next
two games - at Leicester and at home to Crystal Palace - would see Chelsea wrap
up the championship.
Hazard said of his award success: 'I'm very happy. One day I want to be the best and what I did this season is play very well, Chelsea played very well.
'I don't know if I
deserve to win but it is good for me.
'It is good, it is
better to be voted by the players - they know everything about football. This
is good. I'm very happy.'
He took the Young Player of the Year prize 12 months ago, and has rapidly progressed to the top award.
'We are almost
champions, maybe this is the key,' said Hazard. 'Last season we finished third
and this season we have an opportunity to win the league. This has changed from
last season.
'I continue like I did
last season - I try to be the same. I try to score more goals than last season.
Personally I have played a good season, I have been there in the big games and
I scored a lot of important goals, this is why I'm better this season.'
