Crystal Palace fullback Wan-Bissaka: Facing Hazard an education

Crystal Palace fullback Aaron Wan-Bissaka admits facing Chelsea ace Eden Hazard was an education.

Despite coping well against Hazard, Wan-Bissaka admits he didn't find it easy against the Belgian.

“He was the toughest," he told The Guardian.

“He's just busy.

“I'm not saying I can't read him, but he does so much on the ball, and off it too.

“He doesn't just get it and pass it on.

“He always does something: maybe not directly against me, but something that affects me somehow, dragging me out of position, freeing someone else up to run at me.

“He's so clever, one of the best.

“At the same time, those are the situations you learn most from."
