And Shearer, who was analysing the 26-year-old's performance against his former club during Match of the Day, was impressed at just how effective he was."He was unplayable at times – he was just magnificent,’ Shearer said. "Newcastle couldn’t get near him with his running with the ball or his running off the ball. "He was so intelligent, his link-up play with Alvaro Morata was so good. His game had everything with it. He was running the show."It was just magnificent. When you get tight to him he can turn you, he just has everything to his game. ‘He destroyed Newcastle but he will destroy a few more as the season goes on.’ Newcastle took an early lead at Stamford Bridge through Dwight Gayle but were pegged back by Hazard's first of the game after just 21 minutes of play. And despite leaving London without a share of the points, Newcastle manager Rafa Benitez was happy with what he saw from his players. "I think our start wasn’t good enough," he said. "After going 1-0 down, we started to play with good intensity and good football."We did well after only two days’ rest. It was a solid performance despite the goal. We showed good motivation and good intensity. I made rotations in the game and the response of my players was positive. "I think that today, to play and win after two days of rest means a lot. Newcastle had the advantage with one day more of rest."</blockquote>
