EDEN HAZARD tormented opposition defenders for YEARS at Stamford Bridge.
But only at Soccer Aid would you see him struggling to find space against a former Eastenders hardman.

Yes, you are reading that correct – Chelsea legend Eden Hazard inexplicably endured a tough 30 minutes against Danny Dyer.
England managers Frank Lampard and Harry Redknapp decided that the 46-year-old Londoner was ready for a MAN MARKING job on the Belgian.
Dyer left Hazard in no doubt that he would be in for a tough ride when he went in with a strong sliding tackle in the opening minutes.
The West Ham supporter stuck to his task like a ragged dog and – in between deep breathers – followed the Belgian wizard around the left wing.

Dyer put in two more strong challenges on Hazard, who looked shell shocked at what he was witnessing.
(Let’s ignore Eden Hazard’s ridiculous free-kick and Dyer being out of postion for an Alessandro Del Piero goal).
Dyer was withdrawn after 30 minutes to rapturous applause from the Stamford Bridge crowd.
One fan wrote: “Danny Dyer locking up Eden Hazard , think the debate is settled.”

Another added: “Danny Dyer pocketing Hazard here, masterclass.”
And one said: “Danny Dyer tackling Eden Hazard feels like a fever dream.”
Finally, one fan wrote: “Who needs [Jarrad] Branthwaite when you’ve got Danny Dyer. Man f***ing mountain.”
Earlier this week, another Chelsea legend, Gary Cahill, revealed that Danny Dyer had the potential to be the shock star.
He said: “Danny Dyer yesterday played centre-half next to me, he looked really really good, really good – it looks like he’s come back with some new fitness.”
