Eden Hazard hails crucial Chelsea win over Atletico Madrid

Eden Hazard implies that Chelsea's 2-1 win at Atletico Madrid is the Blues' best Champions League performance since the Belgian joined the club in 2012.

Eden Hazard has suggested that Chelsea's 2-1 win at Atletico Madrid is the club's best Champions League performance since he joined the club in 2012.

The Belgium winger assisted Alvaro Morata's equaliser before substitute Michy Batshuayi provided the winner in injury time to give Antonio Conte's side all three points in Group C.

Chelsea also ended Atletico's 11-match unbeaten home record in Europe, making the result one of the club's most memorable of European victories, according to Hazard.

Asked if the performance was the Blues' best of the season, Hazard told Chelsea TV: "Yes, in the Champions League also.

"Since I came here it's the first time we've beaten a really good, really strong team in the Champions League.

"We did well, from the first [whistle] to the end of the game. That means we are a good team, we have good players."

Chelsea have another big game coming up this weekend as they host Manchester City in the Premier League on Saturday.
