Chelsea ace Eden Hazard has hailed the impact of Cesc Fabregas this season.

The deadly duo have struck up a fearsome partnership this season in the Premier League, with Fabregas leading the way for assists.

"With Cesc, you don't need to work for years together, we just needed one game, one training session and we knew each other," explained Hazard in an interview with the Chelsea magazine.

"It's a pleasure to play with him because he knows everything about football.

"He's a brain - you can see that because he has 15 assists in the league already, in January.

"He's very good and he has the same vision as me, so I like playing with him."
