The 2016/17 campaign couldn’t have gone much better for Eden Hazard.

The brilliant Belgian fired home our first goal of the season in an opening-day win over West Ham United and never looked back, with his class, consistency and ability to affect the biggest matches playing a significant part in ensuring we were crowned Premier League champions.

Over the course of the season Hazard scored against both Manchester clubs, as well as Arsenal and Tottenham, and so impressive was his form he was named in the PFA Team of the Season for the fourth time in five years, as well as finishing runner-up to Blues team-mate N’Golo Kante in the voting for the PFA and FWA Player of the Year awards.

As well as joining Frank Lampard as the only man to win the club’s Player of the Year prize three times, he also picked up the Chelsea Goal of the Season award for the second year in succession for his stunning individual effort against the Gunners.

‘Very good,’ Hazard responds, when asked to assess his season as a whole. ‘It was obviously very important for us to bounce back and become champions again after the disappointment of the previous year.

‘I finished the previous season strongly and then had a good European Championships with Belgium, which meant I was able to start well. I stayed at the top level this season in almost every game so I’m happy with my own form, but our success was down to all of the players. Everybody has been fantastic. We’ve all been consistent and that’s the reason we’ve done so well.’
