Chelsea midfielder Hazard admits nerves facing down Mignolet

Chelsea midfielder Eden Hazard was relieved with his goal for their Capital One Cup semifinal with Liverpool.

The Blues drew 1-1 at Anfield on Tuesday night.

Hazard missed his most recent prior spot kick at Maribor and was relieved to net this time round.

"I was a little bit scared because sometimes in training in Belgium with (Liverpool goalkeeper Simon) Mignolet, he saves my penalties," Hazard said.

"When I saw the ball touch the net it was good for me."
