Chelsea Talisman Eden Hazard Rubs Salt in the Wounds of Man Utd Fans With Cheeky Instagram Dig

Chelsea ace Eden Hazard has taken to social media to have a cheeky dig Manchester United, after the Blues beat José Mourinho's side 1-0 in the Premier League on Sunday. 

The Premier League champions produced an assured performance to beat the Red Devils, with Álvaro Morata nodding a pinpoint header beyond David de Gea to claim all three points for his side.

Not content with his sterling efforts on the field, Hazard couldn't resist a bit of post-match banter with a United fan, taking to his official Instagram account to take aim at the Blues' divisional rivals. Posting a picture of himself walking his dogs, alongside snaps of his battling display against United, the Belgian suggested that the former was only marginally easier than the latter.

Chelsea's battling display will have come as a relief to fans of the west London side, as their abject 3-0 defeat to Roma in the Champions League left many supporters concerned that boss Antonio Conte was beginning to lose his magic touch. 

The Blues' attacking endeavour paid dividends on Sunday, and the 1-0 victory was thoroughly deserved.

The Blues looked a changed side with defensive midfield ace N'Golo Kanté back in action, who came back from a hamstring injury to provide his team with the energy they had been missing in his absence. 

Chelsea will be delighted to go into the international break with the precious victory, which extends their impressive history of form against United at Stamford Bridge.
