Well, wouldn’t you know it – Eden Hazard’s younger brother Kylian is pretty gifted at playing football too.

The 19-year-old netted a stunning free-kick playing in his first match for Hungarian side Ujpest after he joined from Zulte-Waregem.
It was quite a way to make an immediate impact, with Hazard picking out the far corner of the net with a wonderful strike from an acute angle out on the left flank.
One could be churlish and suggest that it was intended as a cross to the far post, but either way it was a cracking effort and one which saw his name trending on social media as a result.
The nonchalance of his celebration made the effort all the more remarkable – unless, of course, he was just rightly embarrassed of being given credit for a cross which crept into the far corner.
Regardless, it’s nice to have another Hazard on the scene, and getting fans very excited.

With older brother Eden having inspired Chelsea to Premier League glory and Thorgan representing Borussia Monchengladbach in Germany, Kylian is further ensuring the Hazard name is renowned across Europe.
It’s just a shame that Ujpest let Hazard down in not ensuring that his free-kick proved to be the winning goal as they drew 2-2 against Belgian side Sint Truiden.
