Eden Hazard does it again: guiding Chelsea past Reading with 3 (!) assists
Another great performance by the 21-year-old fresh transfer from Chelsea. This time in just his second official match.
Expectations were high – again – to confirm his skills he demonstrated in the first game.
And the Belgian international did not disappoint his fans, as he caused the Reading defence a bunch of problems they weren’t able to resolve.
In the 17th minute, Eden was stopped irregular in the box: penalty. At Lille, Eden used to take the penalties; at Chelsea that’s a job for Lampard: 1-0.
But then Reading struck twice, resulting in a lead for Reading until 20 minutes before the end of the game. Eden then provided an assist to Cahill, who launched nothing less than a rocket towards the Reading goalie, and Chelsea was able to equalize to 2-2.
Torres put Chelsea ahead in the 81st minute, and Eden delivered the 4-3 to Ivanovic, after an extremely sharp and fast counter in the 95th minute of the game. You can see coach Di Matteo’s Italian background allows Chelsea to counter like a hitman.
Eden Man Of The Match again, with 3 assists (1 on penalty). With a pass accuracy of a dazzling 94%, and a 8,38/10 on his WhoScored Match report , Eden can look back on a great performance.
