Eden Hazard produced a moment of magic in Belgium's 2-0 Nations League victory over Iceland.
The Chelsea star has been shining bright for the Blues and carried his club form onto the international stage, carving the defence open with a brilliant pass.
He picked up the ball slightly infield on the left before teasing a defender with some neat close control and cutting inside onto his right foot.
The 27-year-old then produced a perfectly weighted ball through a gap in the defensive line for Thomas Meunier to gallop onto.
Meunier hardly had to break stride and squared across the six yard box for Michy Batshuayi to slide in and convert with ease.
And the Hazard pass provoked widespread acclaim on social media, with plenty lauding his piece of skill.
One called it 'different gravy' whilst another wrote: 'Hazard laughs at your 20/20 vision.'
Another even weighed in with his belief that Hazard has surpassed Lionel Messi as the best player in world football.
Hazard will again be expected to play a central role for Belgium in their Nations League clash against Switzerland on Sunday.

Hazard is one of the best players in the world in terms of progressing play. This proves it. He won't get the assist or the goal but this is what he does every match. Create chances and progress the attacking play. Something that Hazard is the best at in the prem. Sadly we have no players that can be utilised by Hazard like in the Belgium side. I wonder what would happen if we brought Mertens in the summer....

The problem is that, these people don't want La Liga, because Messi produces 3-4 keep passes like this every game, threading & splitting the defense apart, Gary Linekar was right, people were amazed & awestruck by Messi's brilliance against Tottenham at Wembley, but if they watched La Liga consistently, they wouldn't be surprised because he does that day in & day out.

To me Eden Hazard is the third best player in the world right now, he's directly behind Ronaldo and has been more brilliant than neymar so far Hazard deserves better attackers by his side and i hope Chelsea looks into this by January
