Chelsea ace Hazard happy with Liverpool goal: That silences critics

Chelsea ace Eden Hazard feels he silenced his critics with his goal in victory over Liverpool.

The Belgian has been in superb form in recent games.

"Unfortunately the goal did not count double because it was in a big match," said Hazard. "But I silence those who said I only score against weaker opponents. That gives me pleasure.

"I try to score in every match. I don't set myself a target for the season, but my aim is to get goals and assists, and the most important thing is the three points."

On the man-management of Jose Mourinho, Hazard added: "I think Jose Mourinho likes me. He's sometimes provocative, he loves to play mind games. He launches things to motivate players in a positive way. What people don't know is that he's close to his players. He leaves me alone, lets me work and when he has something to say, he tells you to your face but always with a friendly pat on the back. He's a top coach a great personality."
