PHOTO: Eden Hazard pokes fun at Thibaut Courtois' howler vs. Hull City
In uncharacteristic fashion, Thibaut Courtois committed a howler in the first half of Chelsea's 3-2 win at Hull City on Sunday that allowed Steve Bruce's side to temporarily level the score.
Upon receiving a backpass from Branislav Ivanovic in the 28th minute, Courtois took a disastrous first touch and played the ball directly into the path of Abel Hernandez, who merely needed to tap his shot into an open net.
It could have been an error that had implications on the Premier League title race, but Chelsea recovered to escape with three points. And judging by an image that Eden Hazard posted to Instagram after the final whistle, which included the caption "Do you want to dribble like me?? Hahahaha thank you for the saves," Jose Mourinho's side are now laughing at the mistake.
