Hazardous Eden is at it again!

Eden Hazard takes on 5 Barcelona defenders to put Chelsea one up in a contest that ended with victory for the blues. The win came courtesy of a penalty shoot out after a 2-2 draw in normal time.

A perfect quartet of shoot-out penalties brought the Londoners 2015 tour of North America to a winning end in Washington DC.

The Blues were unerring from the spot while Barcelona struck woodwork with one and were kept out by Thibaut Courtois from another.

Jose Mourinho billed the game itself, which was played in front of nearly 80,000 fans in the United States capital, as a step-up in training for the season ahead, and it was a step-up in Chelsea performance level too.

Eden Hazard added another breathtaking goal to his increasingly impressive collection. That came early and with the Blues playing some of their best football so far; frequently showing moments of magic the Catalonians themselves would of applauded, the lead was maintained until half-time.

However, Barcelona were back on level terms shortly after the restart through Luis Suarez after a defensive error by CĂ©sar Azpilicueta. Chelsea then made wholesale changes and started to loose their shape and intensity, resulting in Sandro Ramirez scoring a fantastic goal to put Barcelona ahead.

However, the Blues renowned resilience paid off and they pulled the game level two minutes from time thanks to a well-timed spring and header from Gary Cahill who took a smack in the face in the process.

It was Chelsea who packed all the punches from the penalty spot though resulting in a second successive spot kick victory for the blues.
