'Hazard is one of the best three players in the world'

Aftr working hiw way back from a broken ankle the Belgian star is now fully fit, setting up Morata for the equalising goal at Atletico Madrid as the Blues overturned Griezmann's opener to seal a last-gasp 2-1 win.

The Spanish striker believes Hazard is a world-class talent: 'It's not difficult playing with this kind of player', he said, heaping praise on the winger. 'He's one of the three best players in the world. It's easy for me playing with him'.

Morata himself has got off to a stupendous start to his Blues career, scoring his seventh strike in eight matches against Simeone's side. After playing peripheral roles at Real Madrid and Juventus, the 24-year-old stated: 'I came to Chelsea because one club and one coach believed in me. I'm very happy'.

Chelsea host Manchester City on Saturday at Stamford Bridge, just days after their exploits in Madrid. Antonio Conte voiced his annoyance at the proximity of the fixture, but Morata is solely focused on the game: '[it is] another big match. It's very important for us before the international break to take the three points', he concluded.
