Arsenal hero Keown: How Chelsea's Hazard is winning his pens

Arsenal hero Martin Keown has worked out how Chelsea ace Eden Hazard is winning so many penalties this season.

Keown wrote in the Daily Mail: "As he runs into the box in front of a defender, he trails his back foot, slows down, waits for any hint of contact and then falls over. He won penalties early in the season for Chelsea but then wasn't given them against QPR and Juventus. Those were good decisions from the referees, as Hazard is looking for penalties.

"His problem now is that he is not disguising his fall very well when it seemed he had perfected the art of duping the referee."
