Chelsea ace Hazard thanks teammates for PFA win

Eden Hazard has heaped praise on his teammates for helping him win the PFA Player of the Year award.

The Chelsea star won the award after receiving the most votes from his peers for a stunning individual campaign in the Premier League.

Hazard was grateful to those that cast their vote for him but mainly acknowledged that his Blues colleagues were the main reason he won the prize.

"I just want to say thank you to the players who voted for me - it is always good to have an individual trophy but the most important thing is to win the league," he said.

"I hope I can win a lot of trophies again - the most important is to win the league, without my team-mates I would not be here.

"Jose (Mourinho) lets me play, we talk sometimes together and when I'm on the pitch I know what I have to do, this is most important."
