WATCH: Eden Hazard’s penalty was so atrocious that he wasn’t allowed to take the next one

Skied it

What on earth has happened to Eden Hazard?

The little Belgian whose penalty-taking style used to be the coolest in the Premier League now seems to be so rattled that he takes a penalty with a higher trajectory than Johnny Sexton.

The winger was left with his head in his hands after he sent his spot-kick into Row Z… of Craven Cottage.

So horrific was the attempt that he wasn’t allowed to take the penalty when the Blues were awarded another spotter late in the half.

It was Oscar who was handed the responsibility the second time around and the Brazilian made no mistake as he coolly slotted the ball home.

How fickle the Player of the Year title can be!
