Chelsea midfielder Eden Hazard was the toast of the English game as he carried off the PFA Player of the Year award.

The 24-year-old Belgian has scored 18 goals across all competitions for his club this season, helping the Blues win the Capital One Cup and putting them on the brink of a first Premier League title since 2010.

Hazard has dazzled for Chelsea this season as the Blues look certain to win the first Premier League title of Jose Mourinho's second stint

He was rewarded for his sterling performances with the top individual award of the night at the Grosvenor Hotel in London.

Victory in their next two games - at Leicester and at home to Crystal Palace - would see Chelsea wrap up the championship

He took the Young Player of the Year prize 12 months ago, and has rapidly progressed to the top award.

Hazard's goal last weekend earned Jose Mourinho's men a 1-0 win over Manchester United.

He picked out that moment as one of his best of the campaign.

Asked to describe his season in a single word, Hazard struggled.

'I don't want to say 'amazing' because it is not finished yet - maybe amazing!' he said.

Mourinho has long sung the praises of the 24-year-old, believing he is rivalled by only Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in the global order.

The PFA Premier League Team of the Year for the 2014-15 season was announced ahead of Hazard being named Player of the Year

 

Hazard was earlier on Sunday named in the PFA Premier League team of the year - for the third time in his three seasons in England.

He was one of six Blues players in the XI, along with captain John Terry, Gary Cahill, Branislav Ivanovic, Nemanja Matic and Diego Costa.

Harry Kane capped a tremendous breakout season by walking away with the Young Player of the Year award

Kane was only handed a starting spot by Spurs in November, with the 21-year-old hitting 30 goals in all competitions this season also scoring on his debut for England

Tottenham's Harry Kane - the only English attacking player in the team of the season - took the 2014/15 Young Player of the Year award.

The 21-year-old has enjoyed a remarkable rise to stardom, scoring 30 goals for Spurs in all competitions this term despite not being given a regular starting slot until November.
