“For me, I was the best player two years ago, but last season I was like a ghost.”

Chelsea won the famous trophy 4 times in six seasons from 2007 to 2012 but ever-since Hazard joined the club have failed to land the coveted trophy.

After Chelsea’s 4-1 thrashing of Peterborough Hazard said, “The league is important, but the FA Cup even more as I’ve never won it.”

“So I hope that this season I can win this trophy as I have won the league and the League Cup – now I just need the FA Cup.”
