Eden Hazard has told Chelsea's critics that they must wait until the end of the season before denouncing their achievements.

The Blues have endured a disappointing campaign, with their title challenge effectively ending before Christmas and suffering an early exit from the Champions League.

The West London outfit now find themselves in a battle for third place in the Premier League.

Hazard admitted that it was a blow to bow out of Europe's elite club competition so soon, but believes that the season can still be rescued with two trophies left to win.

"You have to reserve judgement until the end of the season," the 22-year-old Belgian told the club's official website.

"We're still on the right track to win both the FA Cup and Europa League, and we'll be doing everything in our power to make sure that happens.

"You can't summarise or sum up until everybody knows exactly what's been won, but it was a big disappointment going out of the Champions League so early."

Hazard moved to Stamford Bridge from Lille in the summer.
