Jose Mourinho's Blues made the most out of their game against Manchester United, and their options to win their fifth Premier League title are better than ever. Eden Hazard's first half goal was too much to overcome for the Red Devils, a team that saw their unbeaten streak ending at Stamford Bridge. With this win, Chelsea has a ten-point advantage over second place Arsenal prior to their meeting next week, and with a game in hand, it's almost a matter of time before Abramovich's team can celebrate.
The Portuguese boss took advantage of United's complications putting up their Starting XI after a number of injuries. Mourinho started Kurt Zouma to cancel Marouane Fellaini's influence in the Red Devils' game, while Radamel Falcao was unable to perform as fans expected. In fact, the Colombian was heavily trolled for his little influence in his team's performance.
Someone please tell me how Falcao can go from scoring an incredible hat trick against us a couple years ago to this. He is awful.

Falcao never hits the net. Should be a Tennis player.

After Hazard's goal, Chelsea dominated the game's development, denying United of any chances to equalize. The closest United came to making it 1-1 was a header by Wayne Rooney, who could not make an impression for his team. What did fans have to say about the Blues' victory? Have a look at their comments!

Don't even need to dominate or get many chances at all to win and that's the best and most fearsome thing about Chelsea.
