Andre Schurrle hails "awesome" Eden Hazard

Andre Schurrle has described his Chelsea teammate Eden Hazard as "awesome" after the Belgian provided two assists for the German against Fulham.

Schurrle scored his first Premier League hat-trick in the league leaders' 3-1 win over the Cottagers yesterday afternoon.

The 23-year-old told The Independent: "Eden is awesome. He is a great player and everybody knows that. When we are on the pitch, he can take on two or three people, we make a run and he sees us.

"I am really happy for the three goals, but I am more happy for the three points. It's important for me of course, I want to play and I want to score goals for this great team and the great fans of this club."

Schurrle moved to Chelsea from Bayer Leverkusen last summer.
