Chelsea dropped deep once Hazard put them in front from the spot and they were pegged back into their own half for almost the entirety of what was left of the 90 minutes.

Antonio Rudiger was immense at the back and he came to the fore and stifled United's threat down the right flank by being a thorn in Antonio Valencia's flesh.

He was doing the needful for set pieces and was giving it his all to ensure United got beat at their own game.

As for N'Golo Kante, who almost always shows up against the Red Devils, he had to do enough defensive work for himself and Cesc Fabregas.

And he did that to perfection. Kante did get overrun in midfield in the second half but he was there more often than not, tracking back from an advanced position to thwart several United attacks just as they looked set to flourish.
