Diego Costa spurned a wonderful opportunity to give Chelsea a win at Anfield last night when he saw Simon Mignolet guess correctly and save his penalty just under 15 minutes from time.
Referee Mark Clattenburg pointed to the spot after deeming Joel Matip to have felled Costa in the box, but the striker was denied by Mignolet.
After the miss, the camera panned to Antonio Conte on the touchline and Eden Hazard, having been taken off for Pedro a few minutes prior to the penalty, can be seen in the background.

Some people are of the view that Hazard was laughing at his teammate squandering a golden chance.
The Belgian does indeed crack a grin on the Chelsea bench.
Of course Hazard could well just be having a bit of a giggle with his Chelsea teammates on the subs bench and it could even be an entirely different clip that wasn't related to the Costa miss.

Anyway, some Chelsea fans certainly feel as though Hazard should have been kept on - meaning he would have assumed the responsibility from the spot.
At the time of writing, Chelsea are nine points clear at the top of the table after their draw at Anfield.
