He might have trouble beating out the scorpion kicks and long volleys at the end of the season, but Eden Hazard might have scored the best goal in the Premier League this campaign. Watch this one-man show:

Arsenal’s entire midfield and defense looked utterly helpless to stop Hazard, who did everything himself. He won the ball to start the move and then went on an incredible run from midfield, putting Francis Coquelin on his back and beating Laurent Koscielny twice, among other Arsenal players. There was no good luck involved here like there sometimes is on long-range wondergoals. This is just pure ability.
Later in the spring, if Chelsea do go on to lift the Premier League title, they might look back on this goal as the moment when they really started to look like nailed-on champions. It’s hard to see anyone catching the Blues after this performance.
