Eden Hazard’s place in the Premier League Hall of Fame felt inevitable the way his best nights felt inevitable at Stamford Bridge. The Belgian didn’t just beat opponents, he bent matches to his will, one feint at a time.

Across seven league seasons for Chelsea, he scored 85 goals with 54 assists and stacked the honors to match the memories. Two Premier League titles. A Player of the Season campaign. Domestic cups. European finals. What follows isn’t a list so much as a tour of moments that shaped the modern Chelsea era.

Hazard’s best Premier League goals for Chelsea

1) Solo goal vs Arsenal (February 4, 2017)

Arsenal arrived chasing the title. Hazard made sure they left with a lesson. He collected the ball near halfway, rolled through Francis Coquelin’s challenge, twisted past Laurent Koscielny, then slipped the finish under Petr Čech. One carry, the whole stadium on its feet.

Why it’s special: It’s the complete Hazard sequence—balance through contact, tight control at speed, and a finish that felt calm while the ground shook.

2) Curler vs Tottenham Hotspur (May 2, 2016)

The “Battle of the Bridge” needed a closer. With Spurs two up and the game turning wild, Hazard came off the bench, bounced a one-two with Diego Costa, and bent a first-time shot into the top corner. Tottenham’s title chase ended with that arc.

Why it’s special: Technique plus consequence. The strike decided a storyline as much as a scoreline.

3) Solo run vs West Ham United (April 8, 2019)

Late in his Chelsea tenure, he left one more signature. Starting around 40 yards out, he slalomed through four defenders and guided a left-footed finish across Łukasz Fabiański. A reminder that his dribbles weren’t tricks; they were routes to goal.

Why it’s special: Peak control at full speed. It reads like a farewell letter written with a ball.

4) Brace vs Everton (November 5, 2016)

Conte’s 3-4-3 purred and Hazard ran the show. He opened with a low, angled strike after cutting inside, then added another after a slick exchange on the edge of the box. Chelsea won 5–0. The performance felt like a system finding its star, and a star finding top gear.

Why it’s special: Two different finishes, same authority. It captured the cold, efficient side of his game.

5) Hat-trick vs Newcastle United (February 8, 2014)

This was the day he took the league by the lapels. The first goal came off a clever give-and-go with Samuel Eto’o, the second from another composed run, the third from the spot. Newcastle were beaten 3–0 and a 23-year-old looked like he owned the stage.

Why it’s special: Variety, timing, composure. It reads as a young star announcing the standard he planned to keep.

What the goals tell us

Hazard didn’t dominate matches through brute force or endless pressing. He did it through pause — that extra heartbeat before the touch, the glide that left defenders guessing which direction the story would turn next. His football had rhythm, like jazz with sudden bursts of color.

For Chelsea, he wasn’t just a winger. He was the heartbeat of a generation, making a cautious team feel bold. Each touch of the ball brought a surge of excitement—an opportunity to shape the match. The focus is not just on the trophies but on the understanding that Stamford Bridge was the stage for his remarkable talent in blue for seven seasons.
