Chelsea star Hazard: I've rediscovered my love for the game

Chelsea ace Eden Hazard says he's loving his football again.

The Chelsea star's goal against Tottenham on Monday night ended Spurs' hopes of winning the league this season.

Hazard told the club's website: "Recently I have rediscovered the pleasure to play. When you're injured it's hard to get that pleasure back. I played 45 minutes and I gave my maximum.

"It's been a complicated season for Chelsea and for me. It hasn't been like last season but we have three matches left and we want to finish well by winning all three."

He added: "Congratulations to them [Leicester], they deserve it. It's footballing history. We had something similar at Lille a few years ago when we weren't the favourites but we won the title.

"It's something beautiful for the world of football when a smaller team does something like that. Next season I hope we can have a better season and get the title back."
