Chelsea's Hudson-Odoi praises 'exceptional' Hazard

Callum Hudson-Odoi has revealed even Eden Hazard's team-mates were stunned by the Belgian's wonder goal against West Ham.

The 18-year-old admitted he watched on in awe as Hazard slalomed past five Hammers defenders before slotting home at Stamford Bridge on Monday.

Hazard matched his best-ever single season tally of 19 goals in all competitions for Chelsea on Monday, notching twice in the Blues' 2-0 Premier League victory.

And Hudson-Odoi conceded Real Madrid target Hazard is so good that sometimes even his colleagues have to stand back and watch.

"All I can say is that I watched the whole thing with my mouth wide open," said Hudson-Odoi.

"He's an exceptional player, though, and I do expect things like that from him.

"I just watch and learn from him in training, and then in games.

"Watching someone like that, he is a superb role model to look up to."
