Manchester United hosted the FA Cup holders in the 6th round tie in Sir Alex Ferguson’s last year in charge at the club. The Red Devils got off to a flying start with Javier Hernandez and Wayne Rooney giving the hosts a 2-0 lead in the opening 11 minutes.

Manchester United continued to dominate the half but were unable to add to their tally.

In the second half, Hazard was brought on for Victor Moses and he made an instant impact with a beautiful curling finish from the edge of the area. Ramires then scored the equaliser after a strong counter attack and Chelsea were now in the ascendency.

They should have taken the lead with Juan Mata, but David de Gea produced a wonder save to deny his fellow country man. The game ended in a draw and Chelsea would go on to win the replay at Stamford Bridge with a Demba Ba goal.
