Chelsea fans caused some confusion when they unveiled a massive Eden Hazard banner ahead of Sunday's Premier League clash with Liverpool .

Huge flags are often displayed before games at Stamford Bridge, but usually they celebrate current players or legends of the club.

Hazard completed a £130million move to Real Madrid in the summer transfer window, parting company with the Blues after seven years.

He is fondly remembered by supporters, but it is perhaps a little too soon for him to be celebrated by the club, considering his exit is still a little raw.

Confused Sky Sports viewers took to social media to ask what Chelsea fans were up to in unveiling the flag, and it turns out the stunt was a simple mistake.

A tweet posted by We Are The Shed, a Twitter page set up by Blues fans, read: "People actually thinking the Hazard flag was used on purpose by the Matthew Harding stand. Just an error that's all.

"So much work/effort goes into organising these things and having so many flags it was bound to happen one day! Wasn't ideal but if we can't laugh at ourselves."

This was backed up by the CFCUK Fanzine, with a tweet posted to the account reading: "Was embarrassing I agree but it is the club who inadvertently gave us the wrong banner to display.

"Too complicated to go into how the procedure works but by the time we realised the wrong banner was going out it was too late to stop it - it won't happen again."
