Eden Hazard equals 52-year-old World Cup record with stunning performance against Brazil
The Chelsea winger completed 100 per cent success rate with his take-ons as Belgium beat Brazil 2-1 to reach the semi-finals
EDEN Hazard broke a 52-year-old World Cup record last night as Belgium beat Brazil 2-1 to reach the semi-finals.
The Chelsea star sent Twitter wild with a 100 per cent success rate for his ten dribbles during the game.
The Red Devils have stepped up their form this summer after underachieving at both the 2014 World Cup and Euro 2016.
Hazard alongside Kevin De Bruyne, Marouane Fellaini and Romelu Lukaku became the ultimate dream team during their 2-1 win over Brazil.
First half goals from Fernandinho (own goal) and Kevin De Bruyne put Belgium ahead but not even Renato Augusto’s 76th-minute header was enough to put Brazil back in the game.
However it was Hazard's superb performance that caught everyone's eye as he glided past defenders and created one chance after another.
During his display the 27-year-old recorded an incredible feat.
Hazard completed all ten of his take ons against Brazil, the highest number with a 100 per cent success rate since 1966.
To complete that statistic in any game is outrageous but against Brazil is just incredible.
The Chelsea playmaker continued to show his class at the final whistle too, as he consoled Neymar who had broken down on the pitch.
After Hazard's world class performance on Friday night, Chelsea fans might start to worry.
Belgium will now face France on Tuesday night.
