Perfect Eden steals show

Fulham 1 Chelsea 3

For the former England striker, scoring a hat-trick in Blackpool’s 1953 FA Cup final victory was not enough to prevent it being remembered as the Stanley Matthews final, after the original Wizard of Dribble’s famous performance at Wembley.

At Craven Cottage on Saturday, the stakes weren’t as high and the shorts weren’t as baggy, but the outcome was the same. Schurrle came of age as a Chelsea player with a 16-minute hat-trick that saw off neighbours Fulham and extended the Blues’ lead at the top of the Premier League, but Eden Hazard was man of the match.
