‘Hello guys! I am happy to be back on a field and to score a beautiful goal, ‘said the Belgian international.
‘This is for you. I hope to see you soon.’
Hazard’s goal ended a 392-day wait and was only the second for the club since arriving from Chelsea, for a starting value of £ 88 million in 2019.
