West Ham fullback Ryan Fredericks admits he was impressed by Chelsea ace Eden Hazard on Monday.

Hazard struck both goals for Monday's win.

Fredericks said: “He's very hard to play against. He's probably the best player in the Premier League, and he doesn't stand out wide.

“He plays left wing but he doesn't stay out there; he goes inside and picks up positions that the full-back can't follow him into.

“It becomes more of a midfielder's job but then the midfielders have their own men to pick up too. He does that to pretty much every team he plays against."
