Some players buckle under the pressure in the big games – not Eden Hazard.The Belgian stole the show in the Europa League final with a superb second-half double for Chelsea against Arsenal, in what is likely to be his final game for the Blues before his expected move to Real Madrid this summer.

Hazards constant search for work took him right across the attacking spectrum, and even at times into his own half as he sought to jolt Chelsea into life.And that elusive roaming role not only created space for his team-mates, but also forced Arsenal into defensive lapses, of which he took full advantage.

Hazards slow start mirrored that of Chelsea, but the arch creator quickly found his feet on a stodgy playing surface.Hazards crisp pass into Jorginho allowed the Italy midfielder to stub a neat lay-off to Olivier Giroud for Chelseas first chance of the match.

Two goals and an assist is a fine return for a final by any standards, and certainly merited winning this trophy for Chelsea.The 28-year-old almost rolled home his penalty, so confident was his strike from the spot-kick.And then he calmly tucked home after Girouds cross, to put the perfect finish on what has proved a sumptuous Chelsea career.
