Hazard, 33, hung up his boots in October last year after a torrid time at Real Madrid.

He managed just 76 appearances and seven goals in four seasons in Spain as he battled persistent injuries.

But the so-called “Real Madrid curse” had no impact as went about showing off his skills and toying with the influencers involved in the game.

The day before the fixture, he scored a wonderful solo goal in training while wearing trainers, dribbling past several internet stars like Angry Ginge.

And he looked just as sharp on matchday after vowing to set up Speed to score.

Hazard first played an inch-perfect ball to him, only for the streamer to instead kick the air.

He then dribbled past several defenders while laughing and again put it on a plate for Speed, who missed yet another chance.

The former Premier League Player of the Year pulled the strings throughout, delighting fans with rabona crosses and silky tricks.

He eventually had enough of passing, sending Thogden the wrong way and bending a curler into the corner of the net.

Supporters loved it – one said: “Class is permanent.”

Another laughed: “Hazard was tearing it up.”

A third commented: “He’s still got it… what a player.”

Fans were also left talking about Speed’s wild tackle on Kaka and his awkward interaction with Didier Drogba after the final whistle.
