Marc Wilmots: 'Match-winner Eden Hazard the worst player in Cyprus win'

Wilmots: 'Hazard was our worst player'

Belgium coach Marc Wilmots has slammed match-winner Eden Hazard for his all-round performance in tonight's 1-0 Euro 2016 qualifying win away to Cyprus.

The Chelsea star found the net with five minutes remaining to secure a dramatic victory that took his team to within a point of Group B leaders Wales.

"He was the worst tonight," Wilmots told reporters at full time.

"I thought about substituting him, but in the last 10 minutes he always the ability to do that. At the World Cup, this was the case.

"I obviously expect more from him, but he will grow as the season progresses."

Wilmots's side can secure their place in next summer's finals by beating Andorra away on October 10, before rounding off their campaign with the visit of Israel three days later.
