TWITTER went into overdrive as football fans reacted to a controversial penalty won by Eden Hazard.
Eden Hazard wins a controversial penalty for Chelsea
The Belgian superstar earned a spot kick for Chelsea just a couple of minutes before the interval after going down in the area following a challenge from Crystal Palace's James McArthur.
Hazard saw his tame penalty saved by Julian Speroni, but he was quickest to the rebound and headed home into the net.
But fans rushed to social media suggesting that Hazard took a dive to win a penalty.
Express Sport provides the best of the reaction.
Diver of the Season - Hazard!

Palace should have had a penalty and Hazard dived; he made no attempt to keep going and veered into the defender. #cpfc

Why does Hazard get away with diving and yet every other player gets called when they have dived 4 days on end ??

Neither were penalties. Ultimately the referee has got the Hazard one wrong.
