Never in football have I seen a footballer deliberately pass the ball with his back.
Eden Hazard stole the show against West Ham, with not only a sweet goal, but his incredible pass with his back to N’Golo Kante.
The Belgian star opened the scoring in the 25th minute at the London Stadium on Monday night but it was a moment just after half-time which proved he’s ‘back’ to his very best once again.
Hazard received a pass from Cesc Fabregas at an awkward height but it was no problem for the 26-year-old as he used his back to nudge the ball in the direction of N’Golo Kante.
It wasn’t a fluke or by no means a mistake, as the Belgian knew what he was doing all along.
All hail the king! Indeed there’s only one Eden Hazard.
