Chelsea star plays hard ball with toddler son

Chelsea star Eden Hazard is renowned for his competitive streak and it seems his ruthless nature even extends to play time with his toddler son, Leo.

Mucking around with Leo on the field following the Blues' final EPL match of the season at Stamford Bridge, Hazard gave the youngster a tough football lesson when the little fella wanted to play ball.

Holding the ball with his foot, Hazard bamboozled his son with his ball control as the determined three-year-old tried to steal possession.

Then, just as Leo claimed the spoils and tried to take off with the ball, the Belgian stuck out his foot and sent him tumbling to the turf with a playful trip.

The foul would have been enough to earn the 25-year-old a yellow card had he pulled the same move during Chelsea's 1-1 draw with Leicester City.

And while it was clearly a case of Hazard showing his playful fatherly side, it also showed Leo can expect no favours from the old man should he chose to pursue a professional football career when he grow up.
