Chelsea vs Tottenham: When Eden Hazard Said Spurs Are Not Better Than His Former Club

• Chelsea beat rivals, Tottenham Hotspur, 2-0 at Stamford Bridge last night
• The Blues have defeated Spurs more than any team in the Premier League
• Former Blue, Eden Hazard, always believed Chelsea were the better team

Chelsea proved Eden Hazard right last night after beating Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 at Stamford Bridge in the London derby with one of their best performances of the season.

The Blues showed that their first-leg 4-1 win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was not a fluke, by beating their rivals again to complete a double over them this season.

Trevoh Chalobah’s glancing header from Conor Gallagher’s free kick and Nicolas Jackson heading home after Cole Palmer’s free kick ricocheted off the woodwork settled the affair.

When Hazard downplayed Tottenham

Chelsea legend, Hazard, does not believe Ange Postecoglou's team are better than his former side despite an unbeaten early season - until the Blues ended that charge.

The Belgian, speaking on the Obi One Podcast in February, named teams that are better than his former team but never agreed that the North London side was one of them.

"The Premier League is so hard. You see, Man City... Liverpool they’re better than Chelsea. No, no, Tottenham, no. They play good football, yeah, but you know Tottenham," he said.

At the time the former Real Madrid star made the statement, his former team were 11th while Spurs was in their current position - fourth - but he was confident they would not win the league.
