- Chelsea beat Huddersfield 3-1 with Eden Hazard and Willian in impressive form
- Willian scored and got two assists, but Hazard was the official man of the match
- In the post-match interview the pair shared a joke and reversed the decision
Eden Hazard and Willian were the stars of the show as Chelsea cruised to a 3-1 win at Huddersfield and they continued to have fun after the final whistle.
Goals from Pedro, Willian and Tiemoue Bakayoko ensured Chelsea returned to London with a routine win. Laurent Depoitre’s late consolation was the only bum note of an otherwise satisfying away day.
While Willian scored once and laid on two assists, but it was Hazard who got the official man of the match award.

Hazard did not agree that he was man of the match and presented the award to Willian instead
In a lighthearted TV appearance on BT Sport, where Willian was brought in to present the prize, the two were in constant fits of giggles.
Perhaps most fittingly when Hazard burst into laughter after interviewer Des Kelly asked about Chelsea’s title ambitions.
At the end of the interview Willian was asked to hand over the award but Hazard clearly did not agree with the official decision.

When Willian was told to hand Hazard the prize, the Belgian pretended to be upset and insisted that it went to his team-mate instead.
‘No, no, here you go my friend. This is yours, you deserve it,’ Hazard said.
Willian replied: ‘It’s for you…’ But Hazard had none of it, adding: ‘No. It’s for you!’
The Belgian then grabbed the totem and presented it to Willian before they shook hands and disappeared off back to the Chelsea dressing room.
