The two most fouled players in the league this season aren’t Alexis Sanchez and Sergio Aguero — no! They are Eden Hazard and Diego Costa.

Eden Hazard has been fouled 48 times already, this season, while Diego Costa has been fouled 38 times.

The Chelsea duo have caused a lot of problems to opposition defence this season, and like the old rule in football “if you can’t get the ball, get the man”, the Chelsea duo are suffering from their efficiency in beating men and being in dangerous positions.

Already, the pair can’t stop scoring; they already have 19 Premier League goals to their name, which explains why they are targets for defenders.

Forget all the hype around Sanchez and Aguero, Costa and Hazard are the real deal.
