Eden Hazard's second goal in the dying moments of Chelsea's Champions League clash Tuesday might be the best on a day that saw 40 goals hit the back of the net.

The real beauty of his goal was in the build-up.

As Nathan Ake launched the ball from the Chelsea end to a sprinting Hazard, the young Belgian controlled the high-flying ball with a beautiful first-touch that gave him an advantage over the defenders.

After controlling the ball, Hazard displayed a series of twists and turns to create enough space before unleashing a hard, curling shot beyond the 'keeper. It capped off a dominating 6-0 win against Maribor.
