Eden Hazard has continued his spectacular form this season, and Gunners legend Martin Keown has admitted that the Belgian has been a joy to watch.

Keown believes Hazard’s resurgence is down to his directness when with the ball, something that was missing last season.

“Last season I thought he was taking too long in possession. It was as if he wanted people to look at him and admire him on the ball,” Keown wrote in the Daily Mail.

“Now there is more directness and he is making things happen. He is running at defenders and before they can work out what he might do, he has gone past three players.

“Hazard is a joy to watch. Antonio Conte deserves the plaudits for getting this incredible talent to play at the level we know he can.”
