Interesting, the BBC report further claimed that the two players also discussed other issues and jokes during their brief chat.

"I said to him the goal wasn't bad, to be fair.

"He scored twice. One Wednesday, one today like me. Maybe he try to be like me.

But no he is a great, great player. I had a chance to play with him a bit at Chelsea.

"And I know he is a fantastic player. He had a lot of injuries in the last few years but when he is on the pitch he can create goals like this.

"I am happy for him but not happy for Chelsea,” Hazard, was quoted as saying, by BBC Sport.
