Jose Mourinho has lauded Eden Hazard's part in Chelsea's hard-fought 4-3 win at the Stadium of Light.

The Blues boss heaped praise on Hazard, scorer of two wonder goals and creator of another, as the Blues came back from behind against Sunderland.

“It was his best performance playing for me,” said Mourinho of the Belgian.

“We know about the talent, but for the first time under me he showed ambition from the first to the last minute.

“He has great talent but sometimes he can disappear from games. He was fantastic - getting the ball, attacking defenders, shooting.

“Him, (Juan) Mata and Willian were creative and dynamic. They gave to the team what they needed in terms of creation.”
