Chelsea forward Eden Hazard's record vs. Manchester United

Eden Hazard's record vs. Manchester United

Chelsea will be hoping for a repeat of last season's final when they host Manchester United in the last 16 of the FA Cup on Monday.

The Blues came out on top 1-0 at Wembley Stadium last May to extend their winning run against United in this competition to four matches.

Eden Hazard was the hero for Chelsea, netting a first-half penalty that proved to be the difference, and the Belgian forward is expected to start again when the sides lock horns in a couple of days' time.

Here, Sports Mole looks at how Hazard has performed against United since joining Chelsea in 2012.


Hazard's successfully converted penalty in last season's final is not the only time he has found the net against the Red Devils in the FA Cup, having also netted in the sides' 2-2 draw at Old Trafford in 2012-13 after being brought off the bench.

The 28-year-old could not find a way through in the replay, though Chelsea still progressed with a 1-0 win - one of 12 matches from a possible 17 he has failed to score in.

In fact, it tends to be in the cup competitions that Hazard shines against United as he also scored in the thrilling 5-4 EFL Cup last-16 win in November 2012.

In the Premier League it is a different matter - the former Lille ace has gone four games without a goal in this fixture and has just two in 12 overall.
