Callum Hudson-Odoi has revealed even Eden Hazard's team-mates were stunned by the Belgian's wonder goal against West Ham.
The 18-year-old admitted he watched on in awe as Hazard slalomed past five Hammers defenders before slotting home at Stamford Bridge on Monday.
Hazard matched his best-ever single season tally of 19 goals in all competitions for Chelsea on Monday, notching twice in the Blues' 2-0 Premier League victory.

And Hudson-Odoi conceded Real Madrid target Hazard is so good that sometimes even his colleagues have to stand back and watch.
'All I can say is that I watched the whole thing with my mouth wide open,' said Hudson-Odoi.
'He's an exceptional player, though, and I do expect things like that from him.
'I just watch and learn from him in training, and then in games.
'Watching someone like that, he is a superb role model to look up to.'
Chelsea moved third in the table with Monday's West Ham victory, edging ahead of London and Champions League qualification rivals Tottenham and Arsenal.
Spurs and the Gunners have a game in hand over the Blues however, leaving Hudson-Odoi acutely aware of the importance of Monday's win.
'The three points were absolutely crucial,' the England international told Chelsea TV.
'A couple of other teams dropped points so we needed to get the result, and we did and we did it in the right manner as well.
