den Hazard downplayed the disturbing scene which saw him hugged by a pitch-invading fan at the final whistle of Chelsea's 2-1 win at Malmo.

The culprit's grip was released only when the Belgium forward handed over his shirt and UEFA are likely to investigate.

The fan, one of at least four from the home stands who encroached onto the playing surface, was escorted off by stewards, holding the shirt. Hazard appeared unnerved, but later brushed off the moment.
