Hazard is a hazard to golden run

Manchester United slipped this morning to an undeserved first Barclays Premier League defeat since February as Chelsea took another big stride towards the title through Eden Hazard’s 38th-minute goal. Wayne Rooney came within a whisker of opening the scoring early on and the Reds arguably dominated the possession and created the most chances at Stamford Bridge, but the visitors’ efforts went unrewarded as the Blues moved 10 points clear of Arsenal at the top of the table and also received all three yellow cards. This isn't good enough. The Reds were a point clear of second place, but it only takes 90 minutes to ruin it for everyone. Chelsea have a commanding lead, but the Reds can still come in from behind this late in the game. For that to happen, though, Louis van Gaal needs to stop playing like the Loser van Gaal from early in the season.
