Eden Hazard proved himself to be the Premier League's most decisive player with a double to edge Chelsea closer to the title and kill off Manchester City's hopes in the process. Pep sets unwanted career record Hazard, who distanced himself from comparisons to Barcelona's star artist Lionel Messi earlier this week, has been in the same majestic form this season as he was when Chelsea won the league in 2014/15. The Belgian's brace in the 2-1 home victory over City puts him on course to beat his 19-goal haul from two seasons ago and it is Hazard, rather than Diego Costa, who is leading his side's charge to become champions in the final weeks of the season.
