Chelsea ace Eden Hazard believes he deserves to win the World Cup Ballon d'Or.

Belgium captain Hazard scored a masterful goal against England in Saint Petersburg on Saturday, beating Jordan Pickford in a one-on-one and taking his tally to three for the tournament.

"It would be somewhat daring to say I deserve the best player award, but I think my performances could warrant it," he explained in his post-match interview.

"Other players could do very well in the final, so having that trophy isn't very important to me.

"If I played well it's because the team has helped me, football is a team sport."
