5 Talking points from Chelsea vs Manchester United

Chelsea v Manchester United - Premier League
Morata wasn't his sharpest in possession against United

4) Hazard back to his best?

AFC Bournemouth v Chelsea - Premier League
Hazard has impressed consistently this season

As he has done in many games previously, Belgium starlet Eden Hazard proved why he is the best the Blues have at their disposal. Following his ankle injury earlier this year, there were fears around Stamford Bridge that Hazard would not return to his former best but after this game, such concerns were truly put to bed.

Hazard's link-up play between midfielders such as Cesc Fabregas and frontman Alvaro Morata was exceptional and the forward was imperative in Chelsea maintaining possession and pressing the United backline throughout the full game.

Hazard tested De Gea from distance in the first half and was brimming with confidence all game long. Consequently, Chelsea's title charge will undoubtedly be severely boosted by his return this season.
