Chelsea star Eden Hazard took to social media to take tease team-mate Thibaut Courtois after his howler in Sunday's win against Hull.

The Blues were two goals up after half an hour but conceded twice in two minutes, the second when Courtois was unable to control a back-pass from Branislav Ivanovic.

The ball fell straight to Abel Hernandez who made no mistake with the goal gaping.

Hazard, who scored a brilliant opener just just 87 seconds, decided to continue the mocking of the giant goalkeeper by posting a message of his own.

With a picture of Hazard and Courtois laughing together, Hazard, one of the best dribblers in the Premier League, wrote: "Do you want to dribble like me??

"Hahahaha thank you for the saves."

Hazard got more than 180,000 'likes' for his post.

Courtois made up for his blunder with a brilliant triple save in the second half before Loic Remy went on to win the game just after coming on as a substitute.

Chelsea are now six points clear of title rivals Manchester City with a game in hand.
