Chelsea captain John Terry hailed the performance of Eden Hazard after victory over Stoke City.
Hazard tucked home a penalty in the 2-1 win.
"He was excellent," Terry told Sky Sports 1.
"He has been our best player by a long way this year and in those games when you are looking for a bit of extra, a bit of magic from someone he is the one who steps up and managed to create something. He is up there with the (Lionel) Messi's and (Cristiano) Ronaldo's and can still get better and better."
