Chelsea defender David Luiz has praised team-mate Eden Hazard for his wonder goal in Saturday’s 3-1 win over Arsenal, revealing that it reminded him of former Barcelona star and Brazil icon Ronaldinho.

Hazard dazzled at Stamford Bridge on Saturday as Antonio Conte’s Blues put three past their London rivals in another convincing performance that maintained their nine-point league at the top of the Premier League.

The Belgian added Chelsea’s second in the 53rd minute in a moment of pure class that left Chelsea’s fans enraptured.

Picking the ball up on halfway, Hazard skipped past Laurent Koscielny before holding off Francis Coquelin – despite the latter’s attempts to draw a foul. From the right flank, he drifted inwards to finish in style, lifting the ball up and over the outstretched Petr Cech.

Speaking after the game, Luiz heaped extensive praise on the forward and went as far to compare the strike with the litany of great goals scored by Ronaldinho, the 2005 Ballon d’Or winner.

“It was fantastic,” Luiz said. “It reminded me a bit of Ronaldinho – it was amazing.

“I love Eden’s talent and I love him as a person so I enjoy having this kind of person in my team.”

The Brazilian defender was not the only one to compare the forward to a Barcelona great.

Belgium boss Roberto Martinez told Goals on Sunday that Hazard “reminds me a lot of Lionel Messi”.

“Not many players can control the moment and take the defenders where you want to take them,” he added. “The way he uses the ball with his feet is sensational and what is surprising more than anything is his maturity.”

Saturday’s goal was Hazard’s 10th of the season and his 65th as a Chelsea player.
