Intro:

Belgium playmaker Eden Hazard scores a scintillating solo goal in Chelsea's penalty shoot-out friendly victory against Barcelona after a 2-2 draw at the end of 90 minutes in Maryland, America.

Script:

Chelsea beat Barcelona 4-2 on penalties at the end of a 2-2 draw at FedEx Field in front of more than 78,000 fans.

The Maryland crowd were treated to a superb Chelsea opener. Eden Hazard picked the ball up from deep and breezed past three players like they were traffic cones before finishing cooly.

The Belgium playmaker's pace and close-control was too much for last season's Champions League winners.

Barcelona's reply came in the form of a sumptuous chip from Luis Suárez. At 6ft 6in, lobbing keeper Thibaut Courtois is quite an achievement.

The Uruguay striker may have been signed for a reported £75m but La Masia graduate Sandro Ramírez showed he could more than hold his own, despite barely costing the club a cent.

With just five minutes left, Willian's free-kick wasn't dealt with by central midfielder Ivan Rakitić and Gary Cahill bravely headed home.

The England centre-back was inadvertently punched by keeper Jordi Masip and suffered a suspected broken nose.

In the shootout, man of the match Courtois saved Gerard Pique's spot-kick and Loïc Rémy ensured a successful end to the Blues' North American pre-season tour.
