Luka Modric may have been crowned the world’s best player, but John Terry is adamant that Eden Hazard is the standout individual both in the Premier League and the global game.
Hazard provided another reminder of his undoubted quality as he scored the winner in Chelsea’s 2-1 Carabao Cup victory over Liverpool on Wednesday night with an excellent goal.
Demonstrating his excellent close control, Hazard weaved his way past a host of Liverpool players before finishing emphatically.

Terry was delighted with the goal scored by his former Chelsea team-mate and reacted to the strike on Instagram.
He wrote: ‘What a goal from @hazardeden_10 @chelseafc BEST player in the @premierleague and in the WORLD’.
Liverpool took the lead at Anfield through Daniel Sturridge, but Emerson Palmieri equalised before Hazard’s strike settled matters.
Hazard has already scored six goals in seven games this season and will be aiming to add to his impressive tally when Chelsea take on Liverpool again on Saturday, this time in the Premier League.
During his time at Chelsea, Hazard has frequently been linked with a move away from the club, often to Real Madrid.
However, he has remained with the Blues and has commenced the season very well under the guidance of new manager Maurizio Sarri.
