CHELSEA fans have been comparing Raheem Sterling to club legend Eden Hazard after his solo goal against Luton Town.
The England international weaved his way through the Hatters’ defence to fire the Blues into the lead at Stamford Bridge.
And it was the style of Sterling’s dribbling that caught the eye as he took on multiple defenders before slotting his effort past Thomas Kaminski.
The goal was reminiscent of how Hazard would take on defenders during his time in the Premier League.
And fans flocked to social media to praise the goal by Sterling with a comparison to Hazard.
One Tweeted: “Raheem sterling 🤝 hazard 💯💙.”
